What's wrong with my play? If i raise and they both fold and the EP player folds the most i have cost myself is 2BB- if both of them would have called. That is the worst case scenario. The best case is that they both all 2 cold (they are loose passive remember) and the original better had a flush as well and makes it three bets. Looking at a +5BB-+10BB scenario best case. In reality it is somewhree inbetween, but raiseing is vastly superior as one coldcaller is a damn good thing.
Also there are plenty of hearts left to hit the river wich will kill my action.

In many games, calling is correct here. Sometimes, I go hours without seeing anyone call two bets cold.

Apparently, however, in the game you were playing in, raising was corect.

P.S. I don't think this is "weak-tight." I think this is just bad play (in this game). There's a difference.

Now, if the board paired on the river and you checked because you were terrified of a boat, THAT would be "weak-tight."

EDIT: Sorry, didn't see Al's post saying a lot of the same thing.

I got bitched at by the table AND the dealer for something like this. 3/6 game at Lucky Chances, 2 good players, 6 fish, and one person doing his best to appear to be a fish (me). The pot hasn't been raised the whole way (maybe preflop, but definitely not after) and I river the nut flush. Good player bets (baby flush with middle pair), I just call hoping for overcalls, or if I'm lucky, even a raise behind me from a baby flush. There's no way I get more than 1 bet if I raise. Both of the calling stations behind me folded, which was a 1-in-a-million occurrence. Then I get bitched at for not raising. Heh.

It was the win that did it. Dont sweat it, the T/A returns after your psyche lets go of the money.

Tell the dealer to concentrate more on dealing hands quickly and correctly and to the save the 'helpful hints' for their lunch breaks. Your play was fine.
