Bottom pair and a flush draw, I better call this!

Wow, this is unexpected, I better check-raise!

Final Pot: 11.75 BB

Was this just a terribly played hand? I'm not crazy about my turn call, and I also could have check-raised the flop I suppose. Comments?

I think I would lead this flop, I have a pair and a two card flush draw so a raise doesn't scare me but a check through does. I check/call the turn and check/raise the river.

Standard Disclaimer, I am by no means an expert at any of this.

I would bet the flop, with a pair and a flush draw you have a nice equity edge. Aslong as a couple of people call (nearly always) your bet is for value.

Why are you questioning your turn call? You have 9 outs to the flush and I would give your two pair or better 3 outs. That's 12 outs needing about 3-1 to call, you're getting 5.75-1 including implied odds and people to call behind you on this street.

It is rarely correct to fold a flush draw when you don't fear a fullhouse.

River check/raise is good for maximising wins.

[Bez]

Bet the flop.
Check/call the turn.
Nice river, he didn't see that coming.

[royaltrux]

Agree with above. Need to bet the flop.

Everything else is goot.

[topspin]

Bet the flop for value. Folding the turn would be absurd.
