i think you played it crap

i see that flop and i can barely contain my excitement - this may be the dream flop for these cards - my thoughts wander to all those 87o hands that i've usually thrown away in the blinds when someone raised - now they will pay

i like that i have 2 pair

i like that there is an A in the flop because those chooks who limped with Ax's will likely be contributing heavily to my mortgage

i like that there is a flush draw as when i bet out on the flop i will probably just get played for having that draw + anybody who has that draw is going to pay heavily for it

i like getting raised on the turn because its 3 way action and with a double flush draw and fat straight draw it cant be too wrong to 3 bet

i like the river because i have pumped a truckload of money into the pot such that i will get a bunch of callers

i like the showdown too, but its what i expected

probably i should worry more ?

No way. This is a dream flop for all the reasons you give. I don't 3-bet the River - I would be worried if you thought I should (3-bet Turn no problem).
