This was a hand that i felt I played very poorly. Take a look, maybe it wasn't that bad or maybe it was ... my thinking *during* the hand is below. Main villain UTG+1 is 36/12/inf over 33 hands and I have been nittish tight at 8/8 over the same amount of hands.
First I think this was a good squeeze opportunity preflop ... yes?
Second, I figured my JJ wasn't good ... but i hit the set but realize that my set is just not looking all that hot since AK, K9, 98 just made the straight and there's 3 other people in the pot and still one more card to come. The villain here basically min-raises for the second time and I think he's either SUPER weak or SUPER strong. So I flat it to see what comes of the river (ideally a brick).
Third - with the king on the river I even said out loud "I have no clue how I can possibly be ahead here". I mean ... KQ for him? KJ? Any A or any 9 has me beat so I'm playing passively hoping for a cheap showdown.
