How bad did I play this ?

Tough to say without a read.

Flop: looks good. TPTK, nut flush draw. Pretty good start.

Turn: not bad. When he caps the turn, I get worried: with the board pairing, your flush draw may not be good anymore. AA is a possibility given his pre-flop play. However, this may be one of those "raise-reraise machismo" kinda things....

River: I definitely don't like 3-betting the river. Without a read, I probably bet-call his raise.

He definitely doesn't fear the ace and doesn't fear the paired board. The only hands that make sense for him to play this way given the action (assuming he's a decent opponent, which may be too much of an assumption for the typical PP 1/2er) is AA or AK - you are dead to one, chopping to the other.

thanks for the tips, just realized the forum was for 2/4 or higher. thanks for not flaming me, lol.

I was convinced he has a pair preflop .. 3 bet to drive out the others. I did not put him on AA since I had one, and there's another on the flop. Reraise preflop with 77? Maybe but that's pretty aggressive.

I figured the turn 6, river 2 didn't help anyone, if I was ahead at the flop .. I should still be ahead. No straights, no flushes. Maybe he had AK also, AQs, KK, QQ, JJ. Honestly in the heat of battle, I didn't analyze this well.. just was stubbornly convinced my hand was the best from the great flop. Capped the turn to get in bets since the flush might paralyze him on the river.
