Party Poker 3/6 Hold'em (10 handed)

** First few hands at the table, so no reads **

converter

Preflop: Hero is MP1 with Q[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], T[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]. MP3 posts a blind of $4. CO posts a blind of $3.
UTG calls, <font color="#666666">2 folds</font>, Hero calls, <font color="#CC3333">MP2 raises</font>, MP3 (poster) calls, <font color="#666666">3 folds</font>, BB calls, UTG calls, Hero calls.

With one limper, and two posters already in after me, I decide to try my luck with a mediocre hand. Anyone fold this preflop?

Flop: (11.66 SB) 9[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], 2[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], Q[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(5 players)</font>
BB checks, UTG checks, <font color="#CC3333">Hero bets</font>, MP2 calls, MP3 calls, BB folds, UTG calls.

Standard bet here, right? I don't want to try for the check-raise because I don't want to build a huge pot that offers too great of odds for someone to draw out later on. I also don't want it checked through

Turn: (7.83 BB) A[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(4 players)</font>
UTG checks, <font color="#CC3333">Hero bets</font>, MP2 calls, MP3 folds, UTG calls.

Even though the ace is a scare card, I bet again, hoping at the very least to trim down the field. Even if I'm raised, I still have the odds to draw for two pair or trips.

River: (10.83 BB) J[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(3 players)</font>
UTG checks, <font color="#CC3333">Hero bets</font>, MP2 calls, UTG calls.

Another crap card for me. I'm wondering why no one else has shown aggression thus far. I decide to bet, but would have folded to a raise.

Final Pot: 13.83 BB


Any suggestions on a different approach to this hand?

Thanks!
