what a horrid spot. no reads to this point, first hand....assume they are all stupid until proven otherwise...

Cake Poker No-Limit Hold'em, $0.25 BB (10 handed) - Cake-Poker Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com

SB ($9.55)
BB ($14.95)
UTG ($12.95)
UTG+1 ($11.80)
UTG+2 ($7.80)
MP1 ($8.05)
MP2 ($9.45)
Hero (MP3) ($10)
CO ($7.75)
Button ($9.40)

Preflop: Hero is MP3 with 10, Q
1 fold, UTG+1 calls $0.25, UTG+2 calls $0.25, MP1 calls $0.25, 1 fold, Hero (poster) checks, 1 fold, Button raises to $0.50, SB calls $0.40, BB calls $0.25, UTG+1 calls $0.25, UTG+2 calls $0.25, MP1 calls $0.25, Hero (poster) calls $0.25

Flop: ($3.50) J, K, 3 (7 players)
SB checks, BB checks, UTG+1 checks, UTG+2 checks, MP1 bets $0.25, Hero calls $0.25, Button raises to $0.50, SB calls $0.50, 3 folds, MP1 raises to $0.75, Hero calls $0.50, Button raises to $1, 1 fold, MP1 calls $0.25, Hero calls $0.25

i hate to play this so weakly, but i cant justify a raise. when the action comes back to me facing two bets and a likely cap, i am still getting odds for a 6 out draw. is this a fold based on what the table is telling me? (socal would prolly suggest i cap for value)

Turn: ($7) 3 (3 players)
MP1 bets $0.50, Hero calls $0.50, Button raises to $1, MP1 calls $0.50, Hero calls $0.50

i dont even like this call too much, but look at those odds!

River: ($10) 10 (3 players)
MP1 bets $0.50, Hero folds, Button calls $0.50

just too much out there, imo.

Total pot: $11 | Rake: $0.55

is this played fairly right? was there a better spot to drop this one?
LHE is a game where your skill keeps you breakeven until you hit your rush of random BS.

Nothing beats flopping quads while dropping a duece!

Looks good to me. Can't cap the flop for value because any one player on a flush draw basically pwns all our equity. 6 outs minus the flush redraw.
Some days it feels like I've been standing forever, waiting for the bank teller to return so I can cash in all these Sklansky Bucks.

Raise pre-flop for value and to buy the button.

As played, I think the turn is a fold second time around. You're drawing dead too often.
