.01/.02 NL. I just sat at the table with no reads on either villan. This is a 6 max but I dont have HH with me now so I am typing by memory.

BTN ($6.75)limps
SB ($4.35)limps
Hero BB($3.00)dealt 9 /images/graemlins/club.gif7 /images/graemlins/club.gif checks

Flop: (0.06)
T /images/graemlins/spade.gif 9 /images/graemlins/diamond.gif 7 /images/graemlins/heart.gif
SB checks, hero checks (trying to trap), BTN bets .02, SB raises to .04, Hero calls (now not so good of a feeling about this hand), BTN raises to .24, SB raises to .68,<font color="red"> Hero??? </font>

I know the outcome and will post it later. But I want to know what I should have done and compare it to what I did. Still trying to learn NL and so far I am getting 8BB/100 over my first 10K hands.

You're trying to trap on a drawy board in a limped pot w/bottom 2? Not a good idea. Just bet pot on flop. You played this way too passively.

I agree. I realized this and decided I wasnt thinking too clearly and ended my session about 15 minutes later.

What would you do with the way it was played (all be it not played well)

Yeah honestly, the very last thing you want to do here is check the flop. Trapping on a drawy flop like this with bottom 2pr is never a good idea. Lead out for 5-7 cents, or at least RR instead of flat calling the SB.

as played, fold. the BB led out and raised, and the SB has basically min raised twice. I don't play at these stakes, but I'm sure at least one of them has you beat (probably both)

I lead out for the pot and am happy to take it down here. I often check bottom two on a board like against 5 or 6 opponents but it certainly isn't to trap.

As played, it couldn't be an easier fold. If you are ahead, it won't be by much. I don't mind the first call too much at these stakes (though I probably wouldn't make it) but you're most likely gonna fold at a later point.

Good. I folded but if I had stats on both villans I would have probably shoved. Yesterday I got about 100 hands on both and BTN was running 53/31/8 and SB was running 73/12/14.

Here was the rest of the action after I folded.
BTN shoved and SB snap called.

But it was a good fold
SB had J /images/graemlins/club.gif8 /images/graemlins/club.gif
and BTN had 9 /images/graemlins/spade.gif2 /images/graemlins/diamond.gif /images/graemlins/confused.gif Not a bluff this is how this guy plays (needless to say he is on my buddy list)
