No read on villian. Whats my plan for this hand? I checked called the whole way through but felt as if I was too passive and lost a lot of value.

you're missing value from the flush draws. you could have extracted LOTS of value from UTG who missed his flush draw???

The default play is to raise the flop. Waiting until the turn to raise is fine. Calling the turn is terrible. You must protect your hand.

I felt so lost in the hand and had taken a nasty beat the hand before on another table which left me feeling weak. Ill wait for any more responses before I post results.
