How could I have played this better? What I did was going to work.. up until he hit a Q on the river. He raised preflop--so I knew he had an overcard(I hoped he had 2 overcards). I knew I had the best hand at flop, so I smoothcalled it. The 9 didn't scare me either, but I wanted to protect my hand so I check-raised, which he calls... when I saw the queen, I was worried, and I would have decided to fold at that point, but I wanted to validate that fold so I paid to see what he had anyway I wasn't worried at all about a flush, because the pot was too expensive for him to be drawing out.Full Tilt Poker - No Limit Hold'em Cash Game - $0.05/$0.10 Blinds - 3 Players - (LegoPoker Hand History Converter)
