Default Re: The worst played hand . . . ever.

I know it looks bad, but check/raising this small pot on the end is arguably the right play (although we have no idea of his intentions).

I think SB should have bet out rather than trying to check-raise. Against typical 1/2 players, if SB bets out here, a smaller flush will call, netting him 1 or 2BB. However, if SB check-raises, he most likely gives his hand away and will still only gain 1 or 2 BB when the others fold to the check-raise, and it's also leaving the likely chance of it being checked through(which indeed it was).
