But what happened next PK?

I want some responses on my play before I reveal that.

I like the play very much. Top pair, good kicker on the flop + a drawy board - bet. The turn then gives you an OESD, albeit the straight might have already arrived. Still you bet out, I like that, because
a) good chance to take it down right there
b) you make him pay incorrectly if he is on a flush draw
c) if you hit the straight and your opp improves to a 2nd best hand you can win a bigger pot

This looks standard to me PK,

especially shooting for the 4 str8, if the str8 was disguised, say:

KQ, you have raised PF and cbet a board of T72  and the turn brings a J, there may be arguments for C/C the turn

I'm probably never going all in there.  The smooth calls gave me no info at all, except I doubt he flopped an overpair.  Because I can't put him on any kind of range, I have no idea where I am, and therefore have no reason to push.

No one cares particularly me.

I was thinking same thing with the c/c at first right after i posted this but I think I like the bet I made.  I guess the reason I'm second guessing it is because he obviously made the better hand and because I also ended up drawing dead for a split.
