Hey guys,
This hand is from 5nl and Basically Im wondering if I had a better option than to check this turn card. On the flop I chose to raise the utg bet basically because I had seen the bettor lead flops with very trashy to medium strength hands. I also didnt worry too much about the MP call, I pegged him on a draw or maybe a Jack. In either case I expected them both to come along. An interesting Turn card came though.. My immediate reaction when the card came off was to just pot it , but the MP tanked for a good 10 seconds and then decided to check... I guess it threw me off a bit and I decided to check and call any reasonable river bets. Anyway here is the hand:
PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $0.05 BB (5 handed) - Poker-Stars Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com

River: ($3.52) Q (3 players)

After the hand was over I wanted to shoot myself, Am I really that afraid of MP having 8T there? I think I just played too scared but im not sure, any suggestions?
