Okay, I lost this one. I just want to make sure I played it correctly from start to finish. I bet out for value at first and later folded when I saw I was probably not going to win this one. Would you have played it any different or did I do a good job of minimizing my loss.

looks ok to me; I'd probably have put in another bet on the flop; you're quite likely the best hand with other drawing to their hands, make them pay.

I don't mind the call on the turn; you've got 9 outs to make a boat and 1 to your quads, so you've definately got a way to win.

trips/sets - you make a bunch or lose a bunch

.05/.10 belongs in the micros forum. And you generally shouldn't give results in your initial post, as that makes it difficult for people to give objective reviews of your play.

The instant it gets 3-bet on the Turn, I'm assuming I need to boat up to win. When I don't catch my 10-outer on the river &amp; BB leads out, leaving you stuck between him &amp; the turn raiser, it's a pretty easy fold.

Raise the turn. I love sets to much to fold here.
