Default Fold this on the flop ?

I swear I'll never understand the .25/.50 NL player.

9 9 in MP

Hero $70
EP2
EP1


Everyone limps. 5 or 6 see the flop


EP1 is clueless
EP2 is a tight solid player

Flop: T 9 7 pot= 2
(all I could think was why is he betting $5 into a $2 pot...and why is this guy raising so much with a possible
straight on board)

EP1 bets $5
EP2 raises to $10
Hero ??

I figured someone flopped the straight. Is that too paranoid ?

So I folded this one. I would have won a huge pot. Villain had set of 7's.

3 hands later.

6 6

Flop: 6 7 8

3 people see flop

Turn: A

I raise here to $12
Everyone calls of course

River: puts 3 spades on the board

Villain bets $5
I call and he show A J suited spades.

So I fold when I should call and call when I should fold. Things are going good once again. Hooray

I think I'm tired. I was almost getting 2 to 1 on the call anyway. The correct play without a doubt was to call that or push all-in. I'm 2 to 1 to complete to the full house even if I was behind. God, that was horrible. BYE BYE ++ EV. Bye....see you later.

It doesnt' get much worse than this as far as play goes. This is pretty bad.

What was I thinking. I was thinking about the queens and the monotone board.

The guy wasn't that solid I guess. He was raising like he had the nuts. EP1 was just plain dumb and short stacked.

What made it worse is that the money I would have won on that hand would have compensated for the money lost on the next hand where I got rivered by a spade. I think if I had gone all-in on the turn he would have called because he had top pair and a flush draw and he wasn't giving that up.

I should have went to bed. Now I won't get anymore hands because I threw away my chance at a big pot.
