You should have folded it preflop because your out of position unlikely to make top pair and won't get much luck with a semi bluff attempt using a straight draw.
onto the hand as played
you had to lay it down, the opponent has been give the chance to open raise and will have a Q if not stronger two pair or set in the general poker game, the only thing you're beating is a gambler.
you shouldn't have called the flop itself because the straight out is a very easy one to see meaning you'll get lack of value. It's still not awarding correct odds when combined with the hope of getting a heart as a bluff plus this board will still get a number a good number of two pairs and sets call if the heart were to come on the turn.
It's another one of them spots where you've chose to limp call meaning the opponent is given control and can attempt to rep a strong hand all you can do is play the guessing game. Ragyy Qxo aren't as common as Kxo and Axo meaning he's got a lower risk in attempting to bluff and should work in the lon run from all the Ax Kx and weak 2 pairs you might have. His stack itself is a great one too and still be left with over 10BB.
Multi tabling is much harder on MTTs than cash. I play as many as 6 cash tables every day because i'm allowed to sit and wait without a servere risk of chip drainage and know i'll get good value even when they do come plus on the higher stakes I'd have th same sort of players sharing all my tables.
MTTs need your full concentration right from the start. You've got to play looser otherwise you'll see a chipstack drained away. The best way to do that is using the button because you'll be last you'll act and will be able to know whats best based on his previous actions.
3 tables is the maximum I play. i might have 5 if i've qualified into the main event on monday. All i do here is put DTDs to one side whilst the real focus is put on main and mini.
Superbly put, poker is a great game and is fun, plus like u say its cheaper than going out!
If you would like some advice mate then id say as a rule, just come in raising. You wont go too far wrong by following that simple rule. If ur first in the pot, definately come in with an aggressive action. You give yourself the chance to win the blinds, but also u win the pot way more often.
Lets say you raise T9o. The sb would just call with 66 (i strongly assume). You can then "C-bet" (continuation bet) the flop for any amount u choose, somewhere between 30-60% of the pot would be deemed standard, and your going to win, so u end up doing the bluffing on the flop, rather than him bluffing you in the end.
As played its a really tough river call, but ur actually losing to specifically a straight, so worse 2 pairs / sets shouldnt be a concern.
Im afraid when it comes down to knowing if he has got a queen or not, no matter how much startegy or logic you put into it, ultimately were still using some guess work.
Best of luck in future
The board also hit the majority of his range so it is really hard to see what you are beating here.
So yup, well played IMO
