am I what I criticize?

[BTirish]

How's my play here? I called on 4th with the gapped whipsaw, and on 5th with a gutshot. Then I checked on 7th, fearing the check-raise. It worked out this time, but I am very unsure about my play here. The reasoning at the time on 5th was implied odds if my 8 (or a weak backdoor flush) hit--8's are live, and pot would figure to be 10+ BB if I hit it. Is that too loose of a call, and is the check on the end just wussy? I just figured it was obvious what I had, and no one would call unless they could raise.
