So anyway, the thought process: Figured I'd bet since I had hit a card and see what was really going on with everyone. Got the one caller who made that insanely weak turn bet, that's what made me nervous. Was he trying to make me think he was a really bad player here?

At first I put him on a flush draw but then with the last bet he was playing a set. Figured he saw how confident I was in my hand (or appeared to be) and figured I would call that bet.

Any insight?

I'm not totally new at this, I've been playing online for 2 months, busted out in the first and after a $15 buy-in the next month am now up to $600. What I am trying to do is loosen up my game a little and learn to play the player over the cards.[/b]
