Default I suck right? 10/20

5 handed
Limp, limp, hero is button w/ JhTh, I call, sb raises, called all around?
(I mean i know this is supposedly terrible, but I consider myself a solid player and I figured this could turn out to be a monster, and I know I could outplay anyone at the table post flop. Maybe stil terrible?)

Flop
873r(1 heart)
Sb bets, bb calls, utg raises, CO calls, I called, then called around.
(ugh? I figure I am putting in 1 bb and I will hit 1 in 12, plus the backdoor draw and maybe catch some other way, this really sounds like I'm a fish right, but I have pot odds?????(spoken really meekly))

Turn I don't hit, its two bets to me and I fold, don't remember what took it down. I really think that this passive, seemingly terrible play was justified, did I make a mistake anywhere?

Passive is not inherently bad and aggressive is not inherently good. Is the round peg bad and the square peg good?

The limp preflop is definately not bad, I might even raise it.

On the flop you have odds. The pot is huge, theres tons of implied action. A 9 gives you the nuts. And yes, the backdoor draw is worth something, its worth two outs. On the turn you didn't have odds, so good fold.

I actually think you played this hand very well. Remember that you can play well and not have the desired outcome. You put money in when the pot odds/implied odds favored you and you didn't when they were against you.

Nice Job
