Here's a big hand I lost. This is at a .10 NL table.

I'm in BB spot, get dealt JTo and check into the pot. Two CPs fold.

9h 7d Jd hits flop.

UTG and UTG+1 both check. I throw a bet of 10 cents. Both players call.

Js hits turn.

UTG and UTG+1 both check.

I throw a bet of .10 (I realize how STUPID this was, but I thought looking at this flop and both players just checked that with trip jacks I could up the pot to win some more money.)

UTG and UTG+1 call.

8s hits the river giving me a 7 to jack straight.

UTG and UTG+1 both check.

I throw a bet of .40, UTG goes allin with 8.60, UTG+1 raises to go allin with $9.70 and I.... called going allin with my $8.75.

UTG had QT and hit a straight 8 to queen taking the $26.55 pot.
(UTG+1 had Ts6s and matched my hand).

My question is, based on these two players actions from preflop to river, is it obvious UTG had QT?

How the hell do UTG and UTG+1 act before you on the flop?????

You might as well check as put out 10 cents. 99% of the time people will call that at this level. Bet like you mean it.

try to post the actual hand histories that your poker software creates...

you should definitely not be betting $.10 ever, period. second of all after 2 players reraise all in, you should be pretty confident you don't have the winner...there are about a billion hands that beat you here. and all of them were priced in by your minimum bets.

I think calling with TQ would have been borderline. (I wouldn't be surprised to see a full house on a board like that).

Good rule of thumb for low stakes: If someone makes a rediculous bet and the next guy calls/reraises, you need the nuts to continue.

Also, if you factor in the "rake" even if you won (i.e. split three ways) you would have been better off folding.

So, it's not obvious what they had, but it's obvious you are beat.

I would also note that the first person will push with a straight when bet into on the river (that isn't the nut straight).
