Pair/flush draw spot

Stars $162 NL. 25/50 blinds, I limped UTG with T [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]9 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]. MP1 raised to 100, MP2 called, BB called, I called. 4 way, pot=450. I started the hand with 5300, MP1 had 1300, MP2 had 4900; I can't remember BB's stack size and it doesn't matter. No reads; OPR ranked all players involved with no major cashes and -ROI.

Flop T [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]5 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]3 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]

BB checked, I checked, MP1 bet 150, MP2 raised to 550, BB folded. It's on me. Comments on action thus far and what's our plan?

Um, why did you check?
MP2 may be trying to isolate the small stack.
You are not laying this down, make it 2000.

Thanks for asking. I thought MP1 might have a hand and I'm willing to get it in on the flop and gamble against his stack. I checked the flop with the intent to check raise a bet from MP1 while maybe trapping a caller, but that plan didn't work after MP2 raised. Leading into MP1 and having him raise may have been a better plan to clarify his hand.

Really? Just like that? Are you making the same play in a live tourney? Maybe we need to renegotiate the backing deal... [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]
