Yucky 3/6 Live

[DeathDonkey]

3/6 live full kill. This table may be the softest live table I have been at all summer. One player bets EVERY time it is checked to him on the flop, turn, and river. He is putting everyone else on major tilt and we are usually taking the turn 6 handed for any number of raises.

Despite all this, I finished down $210 in 5 hours - my worst session of the summer at the best table. In those 5 hours I don't think I had a single flush, straight, boat, and one set, which lost on the river.

Anyway this post actually has a poker question in it, about a hand I think I played rather poorly. All comments/criticisms appreciated.

I have AJs in MP and raise one terrible limper. LP 3 bets quickly (he is pretty good, quite aggressive). 3 callers back to me and I call.

Flop is AQ8 one of my suit. Checked to me and I bet, LP raises. Terrible player calls 2 cold and I call.

Turn is a low blank of my suit. EP checks, I check, LP bets, we both call.

River is an Ace, not my suit, EP bets. I think and call, LP immediately raises. EP calls, I think and call.

I really never took initiative in this hand except to lead the flop, and I was never sure where I was at the whole way (except that I wanted a 3rd of my suit on the river, not another ace).

Thanks in advance for any help,
