Perfect example from SSHE that I botched.

Here are the villians.

UTG: 15/9/2 with an AF of 1.5 on river. Seems pretty tight overall and haven't seen them get out of line at all. All raises that ended in showdown showed normal raising standards. I don't think she has seen me get out of line. She certainly has been there long enough to get a good read on UTG1 since it didn't take long for him to show his colors after she came to the table.

UTG 1: 77/13/1.37 with an AF over 2.3 on the river. Uber loose. Cold calls too much. Is capable of bluffing, and also donk betting with small pieces of the board. I have been going head to head with this guy all night, and have not been bluffing against him at all. He has layed down his cards from time to time with a river raise.

Me: I have been behaving my self lately and not getting out of line. I think my table image is TAG. I have made lay downs to aggression at times. I don't know that UTG is aware of this or not. UTG1 has spent a good 400 hands at the table with me. UTG is relatively new to the table but must know about UTGs style.

Pre-flop: (8 players) Bruce D is CO with 9[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 9[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]
UTG raises, UTG+1 calls, 2 folds, Bruce D calls, 2 folds, BB calls.

I call here in hopes that it will encourage others to fall in behind me (the blinds). I very likely have UTG1 crushed, and am at a coinflip with UTG I suspect.

Flop: 8[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 8[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 3[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] (8.5SB, 4 players)
BB checks, UTG bets, UTG+1 raises, Bruce D 3-bets

I read it as this so far. UTG is cbeting the flop. UTG1 sees a paired board and wants to put some pressure on the preflop raiser. However, I think he is fos. I have seen him do this before. My 3 bet is to get HU with UTG1.

, BB folds, UTG caps, UTG+1 calls, Bruce D calls.

I have a feeling I am in trouble. I have no idea how to take this line now. I pray for my 9 to come as I am most certainly in trouble.

Turn: J[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] (10.25BB, 3 players)
UTG checks, UTG+1 checks, Bruce D bets, UTG calls, UTG+1 calls.

UTGs check is one of fear. She must think one of us just hit our flush. I will represent the flush now. My raising on the button with suited connectors, A [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] x [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] or K [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] x [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] would be consistent with plays that I had done before. It could also represent the one or both 8s, but I would not have likely cold called with X 8. Does either player know that? I am not sure. They both call, the pot is quite large.

River: Q[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] (13.25BB, 3 players)
UTG checks, UTG+1 bets, Bruce D calls, UTG calls.

This was horrible. An absolute travesty. Can you tell me why? The pot is big. I am sure I have UTG beat still based on my reads. Even if I had an 8% chance of being ahead (which I think I do with these two opponents) I don't think folding is an option.

Results:
Final pot: 16.25BB
