I'm not really sure about this one. Preflop call is probably okay due to your read on the table.

I'm not sure about the flop bet, you have third pair which is not great when so many take the flop. But I don't feel its that bad.

On the turn you've picked up loads of outs so I like the bet.

A fold on the river would probably be wrong due to pot size but the button comes alive when the flush card hits and the board pairs so you are probably beat.

Just my thoughts

third pair, a gutshot and a backdoor flush draw turned my check call in to a bet.. i think i should have folded the river but i wanted to see what he came alive with and the pot was pretty big

[StuR]

Yeah sorry that is a big mistake from me the flop bet is more than okay.

I really must take more care reading.

I would usually fold this PF. The problem with super-passive tables is that people will check-call with top pair so you don't know where you stand with a dominated hand like Q9.

im playing it because the table is passive and i can make both a flush and a straight and it has decent high card value, if the table were more aggressive this is a fold preflop for sure, but because it is loose passive this hand has +EV

If I decided to play this in this situation I think I would raise with it. I don't like the limp. you may buy the button and be able to get a free card on the turn. by betting last ont the flop.

I don't hate this, I don't like the situation, but FWIW, I can't think of a better way to play the hand.

i dont think this hand is strong enough for a raise, and with such a marginal hand i want as many people in with bad hands as i can get because if i hit my hand i get paid off big time..
