O.k. I'm still learning a lot about this stuff.. but obviously I'm not quite there yet. Truth be told I don't feel real good about my play in this hand but at the same time I'm wondering at what point equity makes calling a good idea.

This was only my third hand at this table and I had no reads or data on Villain.

I was going to fold to the SB raise but with the other two callers I figured I was getting close to the pot odds I needed to see a flop.. hoping to hit big in a multi-way pot. Was this mistake #1?

I've been told, and experienced somewhat that SB squeezing represents strength.. this led me to put him on ATs-AKs,AJo-AKo,10's-AA's. Was this mistake #2?

After the fact, I put this flop through Poker Stove and I had 68% equity here against the range I assigned the villain. Does this justify my call here? I'm not real clear on how to determine this. Mistake #3?

I think I was likely already overvaluing the gut-shot straight draw and the turn didn't help that. At this point I'm thinking any heart, 10, or 7 is putting me ahead. 65% equity according to Poker Stove.

Anybody with anything constructive to say here.. I assure you I'm all ears.
