All FlopTurnRiverers...
Great site, Great advice. I've only been playing NLHE for a few months and the information I've gained from FTR has made me profitable. So thanks.
I played the hand described below this weekend and was a little bit pleased with the outcome. :D
The question is: Do you think I played it right or was I a bit fishy?
Basic ring game at a table I'd been playing for about 30 mins. The comments in brackets just here are my notes on the players involved.
Game #194012514: Texas Hold'em No Limit ($0.50/$1) - 2004/12/11 - 21:44:28 (GMT)

[Not a brilliant hand but I'm given the opportunity to limp-in on the big blind.]
----- FLOP ----- [T:spade: 9:club: J:diamond:]
[OK, flop gives me middle pair but obvious straight on board - I ain't getting too involved]
Phew72: checks
Bupp: checks
Dannydare: checks
MrShaggy: bets $3
smart1 joins the table at seat #5
[My hand wavers over 'Fold' button for a second but I decide to try a move and see if MrShaggy actually does have something]
Phew72: raises to $6
Bupp: calls $6
[Eh? check-call from Bupp. Very quick call as well - could very well have KQ]
Dannydare: folds
MrShaggy: calls $3
[Alright, with MrShaggy in and suspected nuts straight with Bupp as well I'm check-folding the turn]
----- TURN ----- [T:spade: 9:club: J:diamond:][T:heart:]
[Oh. Three of a kind - now I want to double check my read on Bupp]
Phew72: bets $10
Bupp: calls $10
MrShaggy: calls $10
[Finally, I'm satisfied. Bupp has the goods and is trying to get me to pay (quite successfully at the moment). As for MrShaggy, I wasn't too concerned - could have been my downfall - but I figure one pair of Jacks]
----- RIVER ----- [T:spade: 9:club: J:diamond: T:heart:][Q:club:]
[Holy cow! Do a double take...double-check (in me head - not a piece of paper! :roll: ) that a Full House beats a straight. Yup, that's right. Fantastic, let's get him to pay]
Phew72: bets $31.50 and is all-in
Bupp: calls $31.50
MrShaggy: folds
----- SHOW DOWN -----
Phew72: shows [T:diamond: Q:spade:] (A Full House, Tens full of Queens)
