Default Is this a brag or am I just a luckbox?

Please line check my brag:

button 17.5/8.5, no good at postflop
SB = dead money 40/4
UTG = dead money, blatant newb 52.5/7.5
all are down for the session (4.5 BB to 17 BB)

Absolute Poker
Limit Holdem Ring game
Limit: $1/$2
8 players
Converter

Pre-flop: (8 players) Hero is BB with A[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] K[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]
UTG calls, 3 folds, CO calls, <font color="#cc0000">Button raises</font>, SB calls, <font color="#cc0000">Hero 3-bets</font>, <font color="#cc0000">UTG raises all-in $3.25</font>, CO folds, Button calls, SB calls, Hero calls.

<font color="green"> I'm guessing up against a decent suited hand and probably a medium PP, and I ignore UTG because he tossed in his last chips on a limp/raise (standard? I see 95% of the time it's garbage, the other 5% is aces). </font>

Flop: 6[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 9[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] Q[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] (14SB, 3 players + 1 all-in - Main pot: 14SB)
SB checks, <font color="#cc0000">Hero bets</font>, Button calls, SB calls.

<font color="green"> SB would bet if he had something, and I'm nervous about the button A9 or AQ are both perfectly reasonable hands for him, but he didn't raise so maybe he has some smaller PP that haven't improved (88, 77). I'm going to bet/fold UI. </font>

Turn: T[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] (8.5BB, 3 players + 1 all-in - Main pot: 7BB)
SB checks, <font color="#cc0000">Hero bets</font>, Button calls, SB calls.

<font color="green"> I know I'm probably behind someone now, but they are probably waiting for the river to raise. I do think pairing either card has a good chance to take down the pot, but now I have a gutshot as well. Decent outs, big pot, I fire again. now I plan to check/fold the river UI.</font>

River: J[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] (11.5BB, 3 players + 1 all-in - Main pot: 7BB, Sidepot 1: 4.5BB)
SB checks, <font color="#cc0000">Hero bets</font>, <font color="#cc0000">Button raises</font>, <font color="#cc0000">SB 3-bets</font>, <font color="#cc0000">Hero Caps</font>, Button calls, SB calls.

<font color="green">heh, I dont know what to say. idiot luckbox, or standard?</font>

Results:
Final pot: 23.5 BB

I'm not sure what SB and Button has, but it looks like they played it like [censored].

You put way too much thought into it. It's just limit poker. Bet until someone raises, then re-raise if you have something (or you're Kurush)

button KQ
SB KT
UTG A8

I just move up from nano's mid march. I had only played ~850-900 hands of 1/2 prior to yesterday, and before that 2500 hands of .5/1 (I don't count anyhting prior to new years, I was just a dumb non thinker prior to that).
