This may be the worst hand of my Life!

This hand convinced me to not multi-table any more.

1. Should have raised pre-flop.
2. Should have raised for value on the flop.
3. Made a suspect value bet on the river because the turn got checked through (what was I going to get called with even if I was ahead - an 8 or a smaller pocket pair?)
4. I called a river raise here.

I played this hand so poorly it might have actually not cost me anything extra.

This is pretty bad.. I agree that you should have raised preflop, but you have to follow that with a flop bet. Also, don't show results.

No need to beat yourself up. It's only one hand and there will be worse.

As for multi-tabling. I played one table only for ten months before I started multi-tabling. Now the most I can handle with any degree of comfort is three.

you need a raise/bet on the flop somewhere.
I don't think the river bet is so bad.

I don't mind the play, personally. Preflop raise is questionable (I also don't like raising 99, unless I have position and not against lots of limpers, but meh) but I don't know if we can really "raise for value" on the flop. We have a 1 card OESD, on a 2 flush board. Our 99 is pretty surely not in the lead at the moment. I am check/call all the way, and I might call 1 bet on the river as long as I am not overcalling.
