In following hand I am hankr, in the Big Blind with no raises in front of me. Terrible hand-Great flop gives me the Nut straight.

I tried to bet it for value without chasing my opponent. As you can see, he started with Middle Pair, caught 2 pair, then the Full House to beat me out of a big pot.

Question is... my little straight was never going to get any better... Should I have just taken the pot down at the flop and been happy? Or did I play it reasonably-well and just get a bad-beat with perfect (for my opponent) Turn and River? His $2 bet at the Turn surprised me... perhaps that was the time to re-raise?? (as I review it, I think I know the answer).

Hand follows...

Hand #4372856-6928 at Redmond (No Limit Hold'em)

I would have raised more on the flop, and a LOT more on the turn.

Definatly raise more on the flop. Not sure it would of mattered on the turn

You want to chase out the higher straight draw post flop, but I doubt he would of folded on the turn with 2 pair top kicker, and the nut flush draw

He might have. The big bet there screams out "I have a straight or trip threes - get out of the hand." Depends how loose the other player is, and how much you bet. Personally i'm always a proponent of getting as much money into the pot as possible while you're still ahead. Even if he doesn't fold, it's a correct play to get all your money in right there. Waiting until the river is bad play - at that point there's two pair on the board and he's only going to call you with a hand that beats you (the boat).
