Default Waiting for the Turn to Protect Your Hand (ala SSHE)

Party Poker 1/2 Hold'em (10 handed) converter

Im new at the table, and havnt played many hands.

Preflop: Oblivious is Button with J[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], T[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img].
<font color="#666666">2 folds</font>, UTG+2 calls, <font color="#666666">2 folds</font>, MP3 calls, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, Oblivious calls, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, BB checks.

Raising prelop seems like an okay option since you have position and a hand that will play well multiway

Flop: (4.50 SB) J[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], T[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], 2[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(4 players)</font>

Thats a rather scary board, I ought to bet to protect my hand, assuming Im already good of course. If the opponent on my right bets into me on the flop, I should consider waiting until the turn to raise so I can more effectively protect my hand

BB checks, <font color="#CC3333">UTG+2 bets</font>, MP3 folds, Oblivious calls, BB calls.

Turn: (3.75 BB) 3[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(3 players)</font>

Good, no heart. Now lets hope my buddy bets into me again so I can shut out the BB with a raise

BB checks, <font color="#CC3333">UTG+2 bets</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Oblivious raises</font>, BB folds, UTG+2 calls.

What does this call mean? If he has the nut flush and he calls here does that mean he's planning on getting 3 bets in on the river for a total of 5BB total? If he simply reraises on the turn he gets 3BB in on the turn and will get 1BB on the end for a total of 4BB. So he could technically make more by calling and getting to three bet on the river. He'll have to be pretty sure Im going to raise him again for this to work.

River: (7.75 BB) 8[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
<font color="#CC3333">UTG+2 bets</font>,

what does this betting out mean? how should i interperet it? Initially I think its a desperation bet because he missed his flush draw. So then I think about the straights. Do the lines of betting agree with his possible holding Q[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 9[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]? Could he be holding 88 for a rivered set? Would he really bet out on the flop with that hand? Why wouldnt Q [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 9 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] checkraise? The same goes for 88. The cards that came off seem harmless to my made hand. Or maybe hes trying to get 3 bets on the river with the nut flush.

<font color="#CC3333">Oblivious raises</font>, <font color="#CC3333">UTG+2 3-bets</font>, Oblivious calls.

Final Pot: 13.75 BB

Can anyone make a read on him after the action is complete?
