Is there something terribly wrong with this hand?

Should I be folding at some point?

Nope.

Are you saying you fold the River bet, after you show weakness and 14BB in the pot?

The only decision imo is whether to check-call or bet the river.

It will depend on how likely BB will call with A-high or how likely clown is to be induced to bet. Also how often clown will check-through with a worse hands that he would have called with.

Looked ok to me... I assume clown caught his four to make a set?

i'm raising preflop 100% of the time here. that may have made the difference.

cheers!

Both opponents had AQ and my hand was good. I never feel good about overcalling with middle pair but was quite sure that my hand would be good more often that required 1 in 14 times. I should probably be beting this river in the future to avoid putting myself in these situations. Raise preflop is definitely a strong option but also a matter of style.

why not bet and then call a raise if the other opponent folds or fold if he calls.

No, but I would probably raise preflop.

Really? Normally I would raise this if there had been only 1 caller, but after 2 callers I limp this to encourage other limpers. With a medium pair like this, I hate to have 4 people see the flop, especially for 2 bets.

I probably only raise 99+ in this spot and limp with anything less.

When you can get it up against two players and you have a chance to buy the button I would raise this close to a 100% too.
