Did I play this hand wrong? Villian had doubled up earlier with high pockets. He had been aggressive so I went for the check raise. I was not happy to see the club, but I could not put him on it the way he had been playing.

I would certainly bet this flop, it is very draw heavy, not only the flush but the straight, too. Of course, you're going to the felt anyway with this hand, and will lose on the river to KK who will call, so it's a bit of a bad beat post to be honest.

I thought it is probably just a bad beat just wanted to see if anyone would play it differently if the situation came. Looking back I probably should have bet the flop, even with aggressive people behind.

Bet the flop. That way he would have raised you, you would have went all in, and you would have lost your $ 10 seconds earlier.
