. Button straddles to 10.
BB (6k fish on a heater and main villain) calls, MP calls, Hero calls (Mistake #2?), B (700 new player no info) raises to 50. BB calls, MP folds, Hero calls to close the action.

Q
Kind of a gin flop, but not necessarily one I'm desperate to get 450BB in on (or 225 w straddle). Is that also a mistake? 3 handed with a raise, should I be fine going all the way with this hand as it stands?
BB looks at his cards for a long time and checks, hero checks (Mistake #3?), B bets 75. BB calls, hero calls to see what develops on the turn. At this point, my thought process is that I'm fairly certain I have the best hand, but PLOLOL. I think this call was my biggest error yet in the hand, I should have gone ahead on this flop and raised to something like 300, and the gii if BB does something silly.
Turn T
BB looks for a long time again, and checks. Now there are a ton of draws and I wasn't thrilled about giving a free card to B who probably has some Broadway draws, trip draws and possibly a backdoor club draw. Hero bets $200 (Mistake #97?). I'm fine taking down the pot here with what is very likely the best hand, and I'm fine getting called and reevaluating on the river. I also decided that I'm likely to fold if BB check pots me, and I'm ok with that.
B folds. BB tanks for 2 minutes, the raises to $500. I look like a deer in the headlights for 30 seconds, then what?
Thanks to all responses, both helpful and sarcastic.
