Hello OMG and welcome to the forums. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

I think that you played your hand pretty well.

You called with a marginal hand in a multiway pot, which is ok. And you check/raised the flop with top 2 pair when you knew there was a good chance the preflop raiser would start the betting.

Another possible way to play your hand, I think would have been to bet the flop.

That way, the preflop raiser may have raised your flop bet, and that would have helped to drive other players out of the hand.

That would then have increased the chances of your hand winning the pot. Also, you could have then 3-bet the preflop raiser.

The river card was a poor card which completed a lot of possible draws, so I think that you were correct to just call the river.

So, I think that the only different way in which I may have played your hand, is that I think that I would probably have bet the flop.
