Hey guys, this hand has bugged me for the last few days.
The game was a local weekly bar game with 40 players and a buy in of $55. It was a freezeout and very deepstacked (100k starting stack). Blinds were 400/800 no antes and I had about 88k while the main villains had doubled up to at least 200k. There were a couple of limpers and a young agg guy raised to 3200 and then it was folded to me in the small blind holding AQ diamonds, I thought about 3 betting and I think I should have but I just called. The big blind who was youngish and very agg bluffy 3 bet to 13,000. I knew from previous table chat that the 3 better knew that the original raiser could be opening very light. it folded around to original opener who called. Then back to me and I wanted to raise to maybe 31,000 but just called.
The flop came 10d 3d 3c
I checked and both villians checked.
Turn 7h
I bet 13,000
Big blind folded and original opener called
River 10s
there is about 67k in the pot and I have about 66k left.
What can i do now? I feel I butchered the whole hand from the start.
No mercy guys

I would call in position, but 3 bet from the small blind. In this case, with a flush draw on the board and 2 over cards, I’m ready to put my money in. You could bet the flop and the turn if called, but I’m pretty confident you would have taken the pot most of the times though semi bluffing or reaching your outs

Typed out a whole reply about not liking your line, and then realised you turned a flush draw, haha. I think it’s mostly fine.
3200 is a weird open sizing for a young aggro guy, but I would probably still 3-bet preflop even with no antes. You’re most likely getting value from calls and you can fold comfortably to most 4-bets.
Versus the BB’s 3-bet I think peeling is fine three ways, not a huge fan of trying to back-raise since it’s unlikely he’ll give you credit for having slowplayed a strong hand, and making it 31k from 88k basically means you have to call off your 110bb stack if he jams.
On turn, we have to bet, but I would bet a little bigger to make the river shove more comfortable – something like 17k. On this particular river I think shoving is probably okay since we have more Tx in our range than villain does, but if you don’t think villain is capable of folding a hand like 87 or 88 here then there’s not much you can do but check and give up.

Thanks guys for the great advice. I flopped a flush draw Ginger.
I think I should have 3 bet pre flop as original raiser is young agg player who I know very well and failing that a 4 bet back shove would be a viable option too. I was hoping to check raise all in on the flop but it got checked around. Maybe I should have led out with a bet on the flop.
As played on the river I bet a really bad amount of 26k and was tank called by the villain with 44.
I was very disappointed with my play and did not recover my composure for a while.
