OK, good result, but I want opinions on how I played this. The turn check was to disguise the strength of my hand, to indicate I had a Pair or something like that, and was not liking the possibility of the flush. Obviously I was hoping he hit it and would play on the river. THis was a shorthanded game, 4 players, hence the aggressiveness PF.

I don't want to give bad advice about the rest of the hand

why check the turn?

I love the check at the turn. No low on the hand to drive out and you've got the nut high as long as the board doesn't pair. If the board pairs 7s or 9s you're probably still okay so the biggest scare cards are the 3 Q's & 3 10's. It's a great spot to give the villian a chance to hit something on the river, but more importantly the turn gave a lot of straight possibilities. Turn check might excite an opponent with a made straight to compete on the river if they think you don't have the flush.

Nice play - nice pot!

Shorthanded, Looking to steal from the CO/UTG spot. Normally this may be a limp late if the pot looks juicy, by anything early, this is junk.

Preflop raise is fine 4 handed, personally I would have minimum raised but your raise is fine.

on the flop, good bet, 2 pair nut flush draw runner runner low

the turn, I don't like the check here. he called the flop bet he must have something. probably had a lesser flush draw which he made or 2 pair so you don't want to give a free card and he will probably call a 1/2 pot sized bet with either of these.

the reason I don't like the check is if he doesn't have anything than he won't call anything on the river that he wouldn't call on the turn. you also diminsh the size of the pot so you can only bet $.63 on the river where if you bet say $.30 on the turn now you can bet almost $2 on the river.
