I wasn't sure if i could post what i remember from a social house game here, but here it goes. Note, players are mostly donkeys.

MP2: ~10.00
Hero (MP3): 8.85
CO: ~10.00
BU: ~9.00
SB: ~10.00
BB: ~12.00

Preflop (0.15): Hero is MP3 with A :diamond:T :spade:
MP2 folds, Hero RAISES to 0.40, CO calls, two fold, BB calls

Flop (1.25): J :spade: 8 :spade: 4 :diamond:
BB checks, Hero BETS 1.00, CO folds, BB calls

Turn (3.25): A :club:
BB checks, Hero BETS 2.15, BB calls

River (7.55): T :diamond:
BB checks, Hero BETS 5.30 ALL-IN, BB calls

Result:

Spoiler

BB shows K :club:Q :heart: for straight, BB wins the pot (18.15)

Villains were unknown, was preinformed that they are donkeys, left with same impression.

Preflop. I had a reasonably strong hand, and I played it that way, open raising.
Postflop: The board has a flush draw and a possible OESD, but I felt i could represent the jack, they have folded to conti-bets prior, so they arn't super loose after flop. So i dedided to take a stab against two opponents, one folded one called. I placed him on a flush draw at the time.

Turn: Ace hit, now with top pair and a decent kicker, i decide double barreling is suitable here, an AXs hand may call with worse kicker for value, other flush draws may be pushed out for protection. BB calls.

River: A ten gave me two pair. After glancing at the board, I didn't notice the straight draw hitting, but i'm not sure i would have played it differently if i had. I wanted to value bet half the pot for AXs hands if he had me pegged at QQ or KK here, but as that was more than half my remaining stack, i shoved hoping to get the most value I could.

Hi.

I would just give up on the Flop. Clearly your read was wrong based on the results and I don't think this is a good board texture to bluff on, when there are a decent number of straight draws, as well as a spade flush draw possible on the Flop. I think the difference between a 2-way and 3-way pot is huge.

AS played I'm definitely betting the Turn and River. No way I'm ever putting villain on the straight. And the push is fine, betting any smaller would just be awkward. This is one of those spots where you should only have one bet size
