You'll probably get better responses to this if you post it in the bad beat forum. Look in the left hand column under the Privacy Notice link.

my NL game is a bit underdeveloped but why underbet the pot on the turn? I would probably push on the flop. If not then, how about the turn?

The straight flush just CALLED on the river? Yikes! What the hell was he afraid of? That you were drawing to a backdoor bigger straight flush?

Wow.

Be glad this wasn't B&M or Absolute (although if he had just called it wouldn't have made a difference, he must have just thought he had a flush).

Yup, I hiccuped at the 295 preflop bet - that has to be pot size *minimum*. And no way you don't push on that flop.
