Hi
I have recently started playing online poker again. Played this hand earlier the UTG limper seemed to be a fairly solid player over the 55 hands i've played with him so no real solid reads. Basically wanted some advice on my play on the flop.

Poker Stars, $0.45 Buy-in (150/300 blinds, 25 ante) No Limit Hold'em Tournament, 8 Players
Poker Tools Powered By Holdem Manager - The Ultimate Poker Software Suite.

SB: 1,766 (5.9 bb)
Hero (BB): 2,615 (8.7 bb)
UTG+2: 3,691 (12.3 bb)
MP1: 1,246 (4.2 bb)
MP2: 3,058 (10.2 bb)
MP3: 6,279 (20.9 bb)
CO: 2,302 (7.7 bb)
BTN: 7,413 (24.7 bb)

Preflop: Hero is BB with J♣: 8♠:
UTG+2 calls 300, 5 folds, SB completes, Hero checks

Flop: (1,100) 9♥: 8♥: T♥: (3 players)
SB checks, Hero bets 850, UTG+2 calls 850, SB folds

Turn: (2,800) 2♥: (2 players)
Hero checks, UTG+2 checks

River: (2,800) 7♦: (2 players)
Hero checks, UTG+2 bets 600, Hero folds

Results:

Spoiler

2,800 pot
Final Board: 9♥: 8♥: T♥: 2♥: 7♦:
Hero mucked J♣: 8♠: and lost (-1,175 net)
UTG+2 mucked and won 2,800 (1,625 net)

Here i prefer to check with position because it's a very wet board, there are a lot of cards that you don't want to see on turn and it's better to play a smaller pot with just third pair, with another heart on the turn i will do check/fold if he bets. On the river i call only if i know that he is agressive and if i see that he was betting a lot on the river

Cumps ;)

In this situation we don’t like our bottom pair at all against 2 player. I would always check/fold this hand, because they only will bet with better and if you win it without any action it’s nice with some thin showdown value.
