You played it fine. You flopped a monster hand and no reason to slow play it and you built the pot, but the OESD came. I dunno what MP2 was thinking

Raise PF. Flop and turn are OK. On the river when MP2 wakes up with a bet, I'm probably just calling down here.

Also, reload when your stack gets low. I see you were all-in on the river. Had someone played back at you sooner, you would have missed some bets if you make a full house on the river vs a straight, etc.

Raise preflop. That is all.

Played it fine, you were actually a better bet to fill up by the river than he was to make his OESD. You got your money in, he got his card and you didn't. It happens. When any 9 beats you on the river, I think i'm calling the bet and inevitable raise.

Raise pre-flop. You probably have the best hand and you may be able to grab the button.

Preflop: Raise!

Other than that, it looks to me as if you played it fine.

Pocket tens is a strong hand----raise it pre-flop. Raising pre-flop probably would have chased away the button. But you encouraged him to see a cheap flop in a multiway pot, and once he hit his OESD, you were not going to get rid of him. Also, with a four-straight on the board, I think I would have just called on the river instead of raising.
