I try to take time to think about hands away from the table, but when I'm playing, I just do stupid stuff w/o thinking. Not sure about any street.

MP3 (21) 33.3 4.8 37.5 AF 1.2
UTG+2 (60) 15 5 10 AF 8

Edit: Took Derek's advice to explain my thoughts.

Preflop: Hero is SB with A[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], 9[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]. MP3 posts a blind of $3.
1 fold, UTG+1 calls, UTG+2 calls, 2 folds, MP3 (poster) checks, 2 folds, Hero raises, BB calls, UTG+1 calls, UTG+2 calls, MP3 calls.
 Ok, is this raise wrong? I figure it plays well multi-handed and I have my share of pot equity. A big pot is better for me if I hit my draw.

Flop: (10.50 SB) 9[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], Q[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], 4[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] (5 players)
Hero checks, BB checks, UTG+1 bets, UTG+2 raises, MP3 calls, Hero calls, BB calls, UTG+1 calls.
 Maybe I should have led, but I was hoping to raise an LP bettor, which I had no reason to believe would bet. Once I checked, I figured that I had outs to peel.

Turn: (10.25 BB) 7[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] (5 players)
Hero checks, BB checks, UTG+1 checks, UTG+2 checks, MP3 bets, Hero raises, BB folds, UTG+1 folds, UTG+2 folds, MP3 calls.
 Ok, so now MP bets, the pot is big and I thought I could knock out a better hand that UTG+2 might hold while maybe I have the best hand and if not, I could improve.

River: (14.25 BB) K[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] (2 players)
Hero checks, MP3 checks.
 No clue what to do, no f'in clue. 

Final Pot: 14.25 BB
