I mean am I just spewing money at this point? Should I just quit playing poker?

i think flop and turn are good, river is close but i probably end up betting aswell. fold to shove though.

Villains ranges need to be very wide, to cbet this flop into two, imo. Check flop. As played I think c/c turn better, prob c/c river.

As played, I think b/f or b/c riv pretty close.

Definitely x/f flop. Turn looks good and river looks thin.

Agree that flop should be a x/f.

Turn looks fine.

River bet looks thin, like gregz said. Villain wouldn't bet many worse value hands if you check, so it's more a matter of deciding how much of his range is made up of draws that may bluff if you check. After betting and getting raised folding looks best even though it would be tough to bring yourself to do.

Because this got multiway the pot got bigger than you wanted to. Probably c/f flop vs 2 is best, then we could also c/x river or b/f as well...

being awful at hand reading does not necessarily make one a degenerate

yet again +1 to everything gregz said, MSMTT is basically the "ask gregz" forum at this point
