Default Re: one i didn\'t like....

Flop play is fine, clearly a checkraise, but since foiled, you likely have the best hand and can trap everyone, this is too good to pass up for a wait and see approach (there is no flush draw, you have an overcard, so not that threatening of a board).

Since there is no flush draw on the flop, when you check-raise the field it looks like a strong made hand. Now QT gets there and you are raised on the turn, by a player who looks like he was drawing or slowplaying on the flop. Note the turn raise was made with the button still in. Calling down you will pay 2 BB to win 10.5. So you have to be good here a little over 5:1 (about 18%) or so, ignoring your improvement over two pair and his improvement on a semibluff.

This is where it comes down to playing the player. I think you are beat here and should fold the turn against a lot of opponents.
