Pre-Flop - standard defend no problem.

Flop - would be inclined to lead out here with top pair decent kicker against a table full of limpers. QT is ahead a lot of the time here and you want to charge anyone that is drawing.

Turn - don't understand this bet. It is too small to induce a fold from anyone who has a piece of the board or a draw and am not sure what hero is trying to represent. Hero also checks when he is probably ahead and bets when he is probably behind as limpers will often have Kx.

River - just for accuracy hero only has 3rd nuts as someone could be holding 78c but pretty unlikely anyone holding that hand would not have bet the flop. If anyone has Ac hero has allowed them to get there cheaply. Hero bet is less than 1/3 pot and looks weak rather than a value bet and, IMO, pretty much invites the shove.

Need to look at the maths of this now. 1545 in pot and hero needs to put in 885 to call so hero is getting not quite 2:1 on the call. Given that its probably about 50:50 whether villain has it or not, and its a freeroll, I'm making the call here.

Hero could have probably avoided this decision if he had played hand differently.

Hero was donking at the time, too much alcohol in system and too less time to ingest.
Agree with your line of thought. Though I folded the river and yes, it was the third nuts, not the second. :wink:

Fold preflop, you will play OOP and most of the time you can lose vs best kicker..

About postlop game, when you OOP, multiway pot and have not nuts, need only play check/fold..

I would probably fold the hand to preserve my left stack.

I think the problem starts on your river bet.
