Final Pot: 38 BB

PF: I think I should have raised, especially as a poster.

Flop: TP &amp; OESD but some people already like their hands a lot. By the time I realize that the pot is large...and I like my hand too.

Turn: Straight, still overpair though that's not of any value now. Big pot, but at minimum I want to make flush draws pay a lot to continue. No way I can kill their odds, though.

River: one flush may have gotten there, and when BB check-raises I'm sure one has, but getting 35:2 I'm going to call this, crying all the way.

Preflop: yup, raise for value.

Flop:
I'm in two minds. I'm not sure if you do have the equity to 3-bet. If behind, you've got max ~6 outs. I don't mind the 3-bet but our made hand is very vulnerable here, that flop hits limping ranges hard - like two pairs, straights, sets - that many will have a redraw if we improve on the turn.

Turn is gooood.

River.. is... I guess I might find a fold to the 3-bet with the risk of cap still there, even on this level. MP3 looks strong, BB too, we still lose to JT as well. MP2 is hanging in there too but we probably beat him.

But maybe this level is not the place to make heroic folds on the river in a BIG pot. Yet, the reason for calling the 3-bet would be the heavy assumption that all the others are very very bad.
