Re: Did I fail to protect my hand in this ex-large pot?
Ok, so if my math is right I had 22.4SB back to MP2 on the flop after my 3-bet raise (including CO's pending call, which was a given). At best he was getting 11.2:1 on a call to a backdoor straight and flush, which at best would be like 1.5-2 outs (or > 20:1). So I made him make an unprofitable call there. Hand protected.
By the time the river comes around, there are already 11.7 big bets in the pot. With 3 active players it'd be tough for me to get a 4-bet there. So technically what I missed was a value bet/rereraise, having only gotten a value check raise (all that seeing as I have to dodge only 10 outs, with the 8 hearts and 2 non-heart 8s being trouble, I have roughly 78% pot equity).
Ok, I feel a bit better now, though the turn check might be a bit bizarre.
