please comment on this hand - thanks!

1) please provide any comments on my play of hand in general...and specifically...2) i checked the turn for 2 reasons: first, admittedly, the Q scared me a LITTLE and I was timid of a check-raise if I bet (but I would of course have called if that happened) but second, I also checked to disguise my hand a little to gain a crying call on the river (which is what happened). good strategy on turn - or weak/bad strategy on turn (i.e bet turn)??thanks in advance for any comments.

You should have bet out on the turn.

And don't put the results at the bottom of future posts - you'll get unbiased comments that way.

I think since you said you would have called a raise anyway you should have led out on the turn. The villain's flop raises would be more scary to me possibly indicating a set but since you were running with it I'd definitely bet the turn. You'd get called anyway just from the flop action so getting fancy wouldn't accomplish much I think.
