It's going to be impossible to protect my hand

[HOWMANY]

Full 40. A couple limps and a raise and then a couple calls and I coldcall Q[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]T[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]. Gary 3bets in one of the blinds, all call back to me and I make the gambol and cap it. We take a flop 7 or 8 ways.

Check to me and I bet, Gary calls, BB c/r all in for 4 more chips exactly, 3 coldcalls behind him and it's on me.

Just typing this out I realize I made a huge mistake in this hand when I played it.
