Going over my PT database I realised I am losing a lot of money on QTs. Going over some of the hands is embarassing but some of them I am just not sure about. Here is one that I lost a lot on (for me) that I am not sure about... Did I play this one well, or was I a donk?

Limp and call preflop is OK.

Betting 3x pot into a preflop raiser in a 4-way pot with an Ace on board when you only have an OESD on a board with a possible flush draw seems... less than optimal.

On the turn your hand actually deteriorates because you now only have 4 nut outs. If all your outs are good you have 8 and odds to call, so in the best case scenario you can call it.

Any bet on the river would have to be considered spewing of the highest degree.

At least you can beat .

Obviously the big mistake is made on the flop. And it's pretty big. About 3 times bigger than the pot.

Preflop is fine....I like check/calling on this board on the flop a lot more than betting out. It is to draw heave and a lot of people will have a piece of that flop. You don't want to be raised off your hand. Also...while you are drawing to the nuts....its only 3 outs to the nuts and goes down to 2 on the turn. You have to realize that if there are other people out their calling bets as well they could be chasing and if comes it may give them the flush when it gives u the straight.
