    Ya, the last hand I think I would have check, just b/c you had the flush draw out there and top pair.
    If you only had top pair I would have bet out like you did, but you could have maybe got more chips out of him by checking b/c then he wouldn’t be putting you on a J really on the turn.
    But I don’t really think you can make a bad play there, only a better one.
