Guys, please read this tell me if you can see if / what I did wrong.

This happened around 1am on party poker.

No limit table..

I hit 67s from the big blind.

4 people in for $.50 on the flop.

Flop comes 543 (rainbow) I flopped the nut straight.

I check
Player 1 bets the $2
player 2 raises to $4,
player 3 folds..
I called the $4
player 2 calls the raise

pot = $8

Quote:
A bit of slow play here, probably where I made my mistake. At this point I'm thinking player 1 is on a small pair, maybe a draw. I'm thinking player 2 is on top pair maybe two pair. (he's a bit agressive with top pairs)
Turn comes it’s a K (4 suits on the board, no flushes coming out)
Quote:
I'm thinking its money for me because it could really help someone out.
I check it
Player 1 checks
player 2 makes it 8
I raised it to $16
Player 1 calls the bets (not sure what he was doing I thought he hit two pair
Player 2 calls the 8

pot = 55ish

Quote:
Nice pot I've got the nuts with two callers. I'd rather it be heads up but I'll play it like this
River comes another King..

Quote:
I'm worried now because I was thinking player 2 hit two pair with the king on the turn. Not too sure about player 1. At this point i'm along for the ride. I bet out all-in!!!! (at this point I only had like 20 left in front of me. My bet was 1/3 the pot.
Player 1 called it
Player 2 called it

That’s when I knew I was in trouble. No way both of them missed it.

Player 1 had 3-3 in his hand for a 3-k boat.
Player 2 went runner runner with k-4 for the boat.

1 darn card.. They had one out to beat me.

Now my question is, did I play this wrong or did I end up with a bad beat.

I'm leaning towards bad beat, but I also let draw for their hands. so I'm confused.

how would you guys have done it?

Tough situation. With a Bet + raise in front of you more aggression earlier in the hand would be a solid play, however I don't think you're going to get that guy to lay down his set nor could you really laydown your straight.

Only an ALL IN after their first bets MIGHT have saved you I think. Once that king hit, I think they were staying regardless.

No way that guy is dropping his set in a low stakes game. Even if the straight is out he has a 1 in 3 shot of making his boat after the flop.

agree with fnord on that.

If i've flopped a set with cards like that on the board then i'm staying in. you've still got 2 cards coming to pair up the board to beat about anything out there.

as much as I hate to say it, my best move would have been to fold the river and keep fighting with whatever I had left.
