I'm still in the play money section, and it's really hard to know if you play tight poker here with all the schooling that goes on, plus they don't email hand histories for fakers, so here's the hand as I remember it, I'd like to see if I played it correctly.

Pre-flop: P1(button)P2sb P3bb P4 P5 P6 me P8
Cards deal, I have 9d7d, ready to fold to anything big, but turns out that P5 and P6 just limp in, so I call, and p8 folds, button limps, and the blinds call.

Flop Td9c2d

It checks around to me, the pot is a whopping $1.25 (25c blinds). I make a pot sized bet on my high pair/flushstraigh draw ($1.25) to test out my pair and get the pot up and it calls around, P5 I think folds. Pot $6.00

Turn 2c

Scary, but it checks around again. My flush draw still gives me a chance over tens and the set, and nobody is betting. So I'm worried about a lurker, just trying to bet me up. I figured I'm about 40% to win the hand, based on the betting and flush draws, so I bet pot sized again, and get 3 callers. Pot's like $24

River 8h
A two or a ten beats me now, but twos should have folded out unless they're A2 or K2 (remember, this is play money, pplz suck). Checks around to me again, so I figure my odds are the same and someone could have made 8s, I put in $8, get two calls, and take the $40 pot on middle pair over 8s and 2s and muck.

Did I play this hand well? I can see several other ways to play, such as betting double or triple the small pot after being checked to near the button and folding out stragglers as I have 11 solid outs (9 diamonds and 2 nines) and 3 sevens left for callers to face, but I risk only making $1.25 on a decent hand. Also, I may have checked the river, or continued to make pot-sized bets to see who I could fold.

Also, versus a large re-raise on the turn or river, I would have folded that hand, do you think that's the correct call?

Thanks

As u said play money is a diff play...But playing real money (ring game) I think u check and fold to a bet. If i had position I'd stab at u from the button if i caught anything on the turn or river and that second 2 gives me liscense to bluff from the button, then ur wondering about the slow play (remember people slow play sets) and almost everyone lays it down. Strong hands = mo' money!!!

Here's The Way I See This Hand you have mid pair, decent pos and a weak flush draw on a paired board...RUN
