 Did I go too laggy here? EDIT: read on villain: pretty tight, 30/15 or so. Maybe 20% blind steals.

When he reraises me on the turn, I go into turtle mode. It's check-call down to the river. He almost certainly has a flush here. What else can he have? If he had two pair, he would have gone to war with you on the flop, not on the turn. You're probably beat, but the pot size warrants two crying calls. It doesn't warrant a raise, though.

Why are you calling the flop and donking the club turn?

DONT SHOW RESULTS!!!!!
To win in poker you only need to be one step ahead of your opponents. Two steps may be detrimental.

 Villain was pretty tight, I figured him more likely to have AK, AJ than possibly AA or KQs-T9s

So why are you calling the flop then donking the turn?
What is the advantage to your line as opposed to a flop 3 bet or turn check raise?
If you have him beat, does he raise here?

elipsesjeff is an unknown quantity at this point
 I like Demi's line of thinking, I dont mind the flop call if you check raise the turn. Otherwise, the stop-n-go is not really the best line. HOWEVER, if you think your opponent will raise you on the turn, say, if he did have AK, then the bet/3 bet line could be a good way to get the most chips in the pot.

If he has AK (I didn't see the result), and your read was dead on, then I think you played it pretty good. You hid your set fairly well and if i had AK, I would definately raise the donk bet on the turn.
