The notes I had on the guy went something like: Will call raises with suited cards.

So what do I do? I ignore my notes. This hand exposes one of my biggest leaks. I get too wrapped up in what I'm holding. I forget one important thing, you know, what the other players are holding.

 that guy just played his hand perfectly, perfectly set up trap. He re-raises on flop, which makes it seem like he isnt on a flush draw. Then on the turn, he bets a small amount to entice the call and to keep you thinking he just has a pair.

What hand could he possibly have to call this bet with that you have beat?
If you've shown strenght the whole time it's a little better play, still pretty iffy, but you checked the turn, go ahead and check again.
