Did I miss a bet?

[DanTheCardMan]

Ok, with a bit of a bruised ego I slinked away from this forum a few days ago. The questionable raise with T7s on the button was brought up by a few folks, and the missed bet on the river was, if I remember correctly, "unconscionable." I didn't understand why at the time, but I think I do now.

It didn't matter whether I had the best hand in that situation. There were 9 big bets in the pot and the chances of one of 3 players having another J with 2 on the board is much smaller than the likely 12-1 I was getting on my money. So getting a bet in in that situation was the obvious play.

Is this analysis correct?

As for the raise with T7s, let me just say that that is NOT a typical play for me. It was a change-up play in a pretty loose game, to show that I wouldn't necessarily just raise with big cards. I do know the pitfalls of raising with any 2 cards in a given situation - especially after last night where I had a loose raiser to my right all night and he ended up getting stuck for several hundred in a 3/6 game.

I am still learning the game, and I hope there aren't any hard feelings among the folks here towards me. I know you all are wanting to help me improve my game and I do appreciate that, even if I get the ego bruise from time to time.
