Live 1-2 NL, misplayed my hand. help?
 

So I had been playing for about 2 hours at his point. I was up to 200 with the average stack at the table being 400. It's a pretty loose game and everyone knows me as a tight/aggressive player. I had never played with these two guys involved in this hand before.

In 2nd pos. I have A [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]Q [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] I make the table's standard raise of 13. 3rd and 4th pos call me, everyone else folds.

Flop: 3 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]5 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]7 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]
It gets checked around

Turn: 6 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]
I bet 10, fold, call

River: 9 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]
I check, he checks

Showdown: He had 10 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]9 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]

Ok so I know my river play was garbage, should I bet the flop here? I know this depends a lot on my reads but give me some advice.Thanks

Pot flop, bet turn, bet river

Bet the flop. The real question is how much to bet...

If the table is playing loose I like an overbet here. If the table is playing passive 3/4 to full PSB (pot sized bet). If the table is playing tight 1/2 to PSB.

When you flop the nut flush you are looking for a way to get it all in not a way to trap the other players.

BTW, slowplaying is a sure way to minimize your big hands. There is a good saying around 2+2, "fastplaying is the new slowplay". Bet your hands, especially live. Just imagine if you had lead for a overbet and the guy had pushed AI?

Why are you not betting the river?

This is why I bet the flop--that turn spade killed your hand. Then you didn't bet the river and managed to screw that up. You could have potentially (10 9 guy could have easily flat called the flop though) stacked him. The stack is worth way more in EV (per odds of them getting into a big pot when you've got them) than trapping people into bluffing it I believe.

I call bullsh*t. You did not play this hand. No one plays this bad.
