You played it fine. You were right to slow down after BB's turn checkraise.

I'm guessing that BB's checkraise was an attempt to fold out CO, since BB checked the river after CO's turn coldcall. I'd say you beat BB a good part of the time. CO may have been chasing the gutshot draw but you have to pay off.

Losing a hand does not mean you misplayed it.

To my surprise I actually won this one.

against a TAG I'm 3 betting the turn, I see a c/r here w/ TPTK on the flop a lot. Considering no reads I play it the same and get pissed I didn't have a read.

My first thought when seeing this hand was to 3-bet the turn. Is that too aggressive?
