Due to attending an almost week-long convention, I didn't have the chance to play much, so I wasn't sure if I really did overplay this when a buddy of mine called me on it.
Figured I'd post up what happened and you all could let me know if you think this was an appropriate line I took.
Any comments, as always, are appreciated.
10-20 Foxwoods game.

I open-raise for $20.
I'm expecting a few callers. Everyone folds around to the Big Blind who throws in his extra $10.
Pot: $45

Bingo! I think. Top pair, top kicker, nut flush draw, and I'm in position.
BB checks.
I bet $10.
He check raises.
I three-bet.
He four-bets.
The dealer says "it's capped at $40" and while I'm thinking "No, dude, it's not capped ever when it's heads up" I also think I'm going to wait and see what he does, so I just call.
Pot: $125

BB checks.
Now I figure maybe he was just CR'ing the flush draw... or bullying me. Or whatever. So I bet.
He checkraises me again. But he looks annoyed, as if he can't believe I took another stab at the pot. I'm not sure why, but I 3-bet again.
And he 4-bets.
I call.
Pot: $285

BB bets out.
I raise.
He gets REALLY annoyed and says, "A flush draw?!?!" and calls.
I flip over my hand and he mucks his.
I find out that we have a friend in common who was watching the action and told me that I was totally overplaying my hand.
I thought that I wasn't ... and I remember last time I had a disagreement with someone at The Woods, that I got some sound advice. So....
... was I completely off how I played? I know the final result is that I won, but that doesn't mean I didn't overplay it.
Thoughts?
Thanks!
