This handed ended a bad session on a bad note. Did I play this hand well? I think I did play it well but please feel free to rip me if it was weak sauce.

River is fine

Turn ?? Meh ... you can't fold to that betsize, but raising might be a bit optimistic, I guess it is fine as well ??

Well, i dont see anything wrong either. Its a tough spot on the turn, but you cant really fold its too cheap to see the river card. I really think a lot of times you will see lower pocket pairs + flush draws in your opponents hands.

That small bet of the small blind looks like a blocking bet of a draw, or some K + a draw or something along these lines. MP2 just flat calls that, so he either has 44 and slowplaying them to death, o more likely just on a flush draw.

So all in all i think you played it fine, the river was a flush card, so considering all the action theres really not much you beat here.

I like how this was played. You're almost certainly behind at the turn, but you had to call that weak turn bet.

I'm a noob at NL, so take my opinion with a pund of salt.

I don't like the turn call at all. It looks too much like a blocking bet to me. Some drawer trying to freeze up the aggressor. If I believe I'm ahead about 50% of the time here I'd rather pot it. Otherwise, I fold.

[kazana]

Oh, and why not fold to that turn bet?
If you're behind you've got 2 outs while the pot is only offering 9 to 1. Implied odds are marginal, since a Q would not complete flush draws - so most likely not much extra money on that river to be had.
And $3.45 is 10% of your stack. Definitely not an auto-call.
