Party Poker 10/20 Hold'em (6 max, 6 handed) converter (http://www.selachian.com/tools/bisonconverter/hhconverter.cgi)

Preflop: Hero is BB with A/images/graemlins/spade.gif, A/images/graemlins/heart.gif. MP posts a blind of $15.
UTG calls, MP (poster) checks, 1 fold, Button (LA-N)/ raises, SB (seems lagish (sm sample))/ calls, Hero 3-bets, UTG calls, MP calls, Button (LA-N)/ calls, SB (seems lagish (sm sample))/ calls.

Flop: (15.50 SB) T/images/graemlins/diamond.gif, J/images/graemlins/club.gif, 9/images/graemlins/club.gif (5 players)
seems lagish (sm sample) checks, Hero bets, UTG folds, MP calls, LA-N raises, seems lagish (sm sample) calls, Hero 3-bets, MP calls, LA-N calls, seems lagish (sm sample) caps, Hero calls, MP calls, LA-N calls.

I think i should have called the flop raise and led a turn blank......?

Turn: (15.75 BB) 6/images/graemlins/diamond.gif (4 players)
seems lagish (sm sample) checks, Hero checks, MP checks, LA-N checks.

I was hoping one of the other guys would bet for me (LA seemed like a high probability) and see the action coming back.

River: (15.75 BB) 2/images/graemlins/club.gif (4 players)
seems lagish (sm sample) bets, Hero calls, MP folds, LA-N calls.

Final Pot: 18.75 BB

I don't mind a flop cap, the board is super super drawy. I think I like leading a turn blank better tho. The problem I think is so many turn cards arent going to be blank, and then you will be unsure of what to do.

BET THE TURN!!! SBs cap was scary, but when he checks the turn, it makes it look more like he was pumping a draw than call/capping a monster, dont risk a free card, youve got no reason to think button will bet for you, as he could be on a draw as well.

yeah, i botched this hand. mainly why i posted it to be honest. if i feel i am accountable to somebody (the board) it makes playing correctly in the future easier.

In my limited experience with 10/20 people will cap the flop with top-pair no kicker or a good draw in a heartbeat . . . hence the reason to not trust anybody to bet the turn. But I think you've figured this out!
