Playing TP2K...

Here is a hand I was playing the other day that I think I screwed up. I felt UTG+2 was pretty much an average player. Hadn't seen anything crazy from him.

Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em, $0.5 BB (10 handed) converter

UTG ($42.99)
UTG+1 ($37.15)
UTG+2 ($32.6)
MP1 ($9.9)
MP2 ($17.53)
Hero ($49.15)
CO ($24.67)
Button ($13.6)
SB ($25)
BB ($20.3)

Preflop: Hero is MP3 with A[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], Q[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img].
UTG folds, UTG+1 calls $0.50, UTG+2 raises to $1.5, MP1 folds, MP2 folds, Hero calls $1.50, CO calls $1.50, Button folds, SB folds, BB folds, UTG+1 calls $1.

Flop: ($6.75) 2[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], A[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], 6[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] (4 players)
UTG+1 checks, UTG+2 bets $3, Hero calls $3, CO folds, UTG+1 folds.

Turn: ($12.75) 3[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] (2 players)
UTG+2 bets $7, Hero raises to $14, UTG+2 calls $7.

Pretty sure he has at least an Ace with the 2 bets, thought I would reraise to see how much he liked his kicker or better. Didn't really think ahead and after the call realized I would probably be faced with an All in and have to make a decision which I didn't like.

River: ($40.75) T[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] (2 players)
UTG+2 bets $14.1 (All-In), Hero ...

Seems like at this point I most likely have the worst hand. I think I set myself up for this decision pretty good. After looking back at the hand I think a raise on the flop would probably have been better as I could have gotten away from the hand cheaper. Would like to hear comments on all streets.

Tough hand - Don't reraise. Try to keep it small and get check/call all the way for cheap.

I'd raise the flop to find out where you are right there. Check calling all the way down seems like the worst way to play it.

As I mentioned that is what I thought would be a better line after reviewing the hand. Obviously a min raise wouldn't accomplish much so I was think bringing it up to 9 would have been good and folding to agression or a call followed by a good size bet on the turn.
