I can't say that I had any reads on this board, but it seemed to be an interesting hand for discussion. BB had a VPIP in the mid 20's and 1<AF<1.5 after 25-30 hands FWIW. MP3 was seeing just about every flop.

Preflop: Hero is MP2 with A[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], T[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img].
3 folds, Hero raises, MP3 calls, 3 folds, BB calls.

Flop: (6.50 SB) T[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], 4[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], 2[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] (3 players)
BB bets, Hero raises, MP3 calls, BB calls.

This is a bittersweet flop, 3 to a flush but I get TPTK. With BB betting out, I opt to try and protect my hand.

Turn: (6.25 BB) Q[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] (3 players)
BB checks, Hero bets, MP3 calls, BB calls.

The turn card is kinda scary, but I think I have the best of it so I bet.

River: (9.25 BB) 3[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] (3 players)
BB checks, Hero bets....

River is as good as I could have hopefully asked for, so I bet for value. If a club had come out, I would've check/folded.

Final Pot: 10.25 BB

Looks pretty standard, what exactly was the problem you were having with this hand? If you posted because you lost to villain's flush, then villain played weakly. If you lost to villain's Q, he may have had you on the flush, and still played it somewhat weakly.

looks solid. Sometimes you will scare 2 pair into check/call mode, but I still think this is the way to go.

I thought it looked standard, too, but I wasn't completely sure. I came close to weak-tightening up and just calling down to the rive, I admit.

I suppose that my only doubt was on the turn with that Q.
