A hand I couldn't have played worse

Just going through a session I've played this morning, and found this little gem. Title says it all really. Grabbed by Holdem Manager NL Holdem $0.10(BB) Replayer Hero ($11.76) BB ($10.25) UTG ($10) UTG+1 ($11.14) CO ($16.08) BTN ($2.36) Dealt to Hero 3 3 UTG raises to $0.35, fold, fold, fold, Hero calls $0.30, BB calls $0.25 This is the only part of the hand I played ok, so I guess I could have played it worse. FLOP ($1.05) T 3 K Hero checks, BB bets $0.60, UTG calls $0.60, Hero calls $0.60 Should never have checked such a draw heavy board where I'm likely to get action by betting. Having checked I should have then raised. TURN ($2.85) T 3 K Q Hero checks, BB bets $1.20, UTG calls $1.20, Hero calls $1.20 I miss another bet opportunity on the turn. Again, having checked I should be putting in a big raise. RIVER ($6.45) T 3 K Q 4 Hero checks, BB checks, UTG bets $4.50, Hero calls $4.50, BB folds Not sure what I was hoping to beat with my call, but at least I didn't raise it up :lol UTG shows A 3 (Pre 37%, Flop 5.8%, Turn 25.0%) Hero shows 3 3 (Pre 63%, Flop 94.2%, Turn 75.0%) UTG wins $14.42

Re: A hand I couldn't have played worse For me, that's the real difference between quality players and bad players... A bad player here would say something like "ffs I flopped trips and he outdrew me - I was ahead pre flop and I was ahead post flop. BAD BEAT! I'm always so unlucky it must be rigged", before proceding to tilt and dump their bankroll. Next time he'll play the hand the same way and hope he doesnt get "unlucky". Whereas a good player will look at what he's done wrong, question why he did that, look at what he could have done better, and play the hand differently next time :ok
