Poorly Played?

[Boris]

yea, in this particular hand the guy had a monster so check-raising on the turn would've been a minor disaster. But that's life. sometimes you step in the doggy doo.

No way do I fold to a 3 bet. I definitely payoff if I make a flush or a str8.

I think your only problem is considering someone who needs to hit his draws to win the pot headsup a "highly skilled player". If you plan on winning a pot against one of my draws, you'd better come with a hand or make a good call. I think you played fine. If you regulary check call the flop/check raise the turn in this situation with your good hands, you might try to play your flush draws the same way against players who regularly bet the turn with less than to pair in this situation or who are capable of a big laydown. What's one more big bet if it might allow you to win the pot a decent percentage of the time without hitting your draw?
