This hand caused a ruckus at the online table last night. Was everyone justified in berating my play, or was it just sour grapes? This was early in the sit and go, and I think it put people on tilt and/or colored people's perceptions of my play for the entire rest of the tourney -- they wouldn't let this one hand go. I'd like to hear what people here think (especially my raise on the turn w/ a flush draw)....

Early in a $30+3 Party Poker Limit Hold 'Em Sit and Go Tourney (10 handed)

Not keen on the turn check raise. Can't call it a value raise with only 2 others in the pot and you aren't winning this pot uncontested.
