1/3 Ac3c in the cutoff
Game was pretty loose passive pre-flop. I had 300 and villain had me covered.
1/3 9 handed. Three limpers to me with Ac3c, I limp, Button makes it 15, sb and BB call, as do the limpers, 7 to the flop.
Flop Qc Tc 8x
Pot $105
Checked to me, I bet $50, all fold to MP player who calls.
Turn 7x
Pot $205
I bet $100, MP player calls.
River Jx
Pot $405
MP player shoves
I'm new to live NL and am trying to learn the lessons of Miller's The Course which says that should I raise my Ac3c, but with three limpers and a hand that wants multiway action, I figured a limp was correct.
On the flop, I bet my draw hoping to possibly fold middle or bottom pairs, though at this table I could see people calling with a T or an 8, though now realizing that at this table someone might call with a gutshot. I now think I didn't bet enough.
On the turn, headsup, I hoped my half pot bet would fold a weak pair. I also considered shoving for the same reason, since I only had around $135 left after the bet. When villain called, I was more confident of his middling pair with a remote chance that he might be on a lesser flush draw.
On the river, I was flummoxed and was scared by the board and mucked.
I'd be grateful for thoughts on each street.
