1-2 NL, Bally's WWW.

I really played this awfully (I'm roughly 98% certain), want advice on all streets aside from pre-flop

Hero - 30yo British guy, been at the table about 2 hours, probably seen as fairly tight but stack has been fairly swongy.

Lost 2p vs a set (remarkably the idiot played it so passively I raised the river for value and he only tank called a fairly dry board, so it was only a medium one), losing when I put a shorty all in with a gutshot and FD and bricked.

I had won a few largish pots, including one where I opened the button with 53ss to $10, BB flatted, BB check-minraised the 5x2x2s flop, I flatted, turn was 9s, she led small, I called, river was another 5, she shoved for like 1.5x pot I snapped she has 77 gg.

V1 (BB - $300) - seems to be a drooler. Hadn't seen him show down much aside from having the nut flush and betting $20 into $100 on the river, and limping a lot

V2 (UTG - $500) - solid winning player, if I had to guess. Was playing made hands very fast including an awesome hand where a deep OMC raised UTG, he flatted from the BB, flop was 6 2 9, OMC bets, he shoves $300 into like $50 and OMC snaps with AA and loses to 66. OMC left and V2 told me later he literally only ever raises KK+ and he knows he will go broke on 95% of boards if behind, hence the massive overshove.

6 limps (lol), I overlimp 68 on the button, SB completes

Flop is 668

SB checks, BB bets $10, UTG calls, folds to hero.

Hero flats (mistake right? Wet board need to get some $$ in now before scare cards come off. Thought process at the time was massively flawed, wanted to represent a draw that bricked and then seem like I bluff raised the river, obviously this is flawed).

Turn is 2

BB leads $25, he obviously loves his hand here, UTG flats again.

Hero???

Remaining action in spoiler:

My personal opinion is that the flat on the flop is not awful.

But I really think the turn flat gives up value.

Everyone limps, so the pot is small on the flop ($12, $32 once it gets to you). With a bet of $10, I can see reasons for a raise, but not mandatory. You have such a good hand, you can charge for draws, but who knows how much they would pay for straight/flush draws.

On the turn, the pot is $40 ish, then with two $25 bets $90. I think there is no problem at all with you popping it to $75 at this point. Your $50 raise into a $165 pot gives the other players $50 to call. You almost certainly drag both players in.

At that point the bigger pot allows the BB to lead/call a river bet of $165 ish, instead of his almost pot bet of $70.

Just my two cents though.

On such a wet board, people are going to find all sorts of reasons to stick around. Raise every chance you get.

People don't bluff raise river with missed flushes often.

You can raise flop but I don't think it's criminal that you flatted - it's not the worst thing if we allow gutshots and underpairs with terrible RIO to hang around cheaply. Turn needs to be a raise though once there's another bet and a caller. We need to start building a pot with such a strong hand and with at least one of them likely on a draw, we want to charge them before they brick off.
