Now that I look at it again, I think I should have come out betting since a passive post-flop player might be scared to bet with a 3-flush on board with only TPNK.

No you should bet. The other players see that there are 4 cards to a straight, so they will probably only bet if they have the straight. When you bet, they might call with a variety of hands such as AK or a pair of 7's or whatever.

You really messed this hand up good. Why are we calling on this flop and turn?

I check/fold flop. I might call if I though the A would be good if it hit, but MP3's pf raise tells you it usually won't. I probably check/fold this turn for the same reason as flop. I would like to say that I would bet the river, but given thatI know MP3 picked up his A on the turn, I would personally probably go for the check-raise about 25% of the time.

On the flop I definately made a mistake, don't know what I was thinking (yes it was last night sin). As for the turn I had 10:1 to call, with the 3 3's and the 4 4's improving my hand.

How much do the 4's really improve your hand? You've got the idiot end of a one-card straight.

Bah, fold the flop.
