    you flatted a check? I'm a little confused.

    The flat pre is fine as you are deepstacked.
    you checked the flop... but what was your thought process or plan. Were you going to flat a cbet or CR your pair and draw? Personally the flop was great for me so I'm either
    1- betting out .65 the pot
    2- flatting a cbet
    2- check raising a bet

    As played it's not horrible at all. you had a pair and a draw...got to see a free turn card albeit a ugly card...and get away cheap overall.

    This hand was played on the tail end of a nine or ten hour session. My thinking was wiped out, but why I choose not to bet turn or go in there is retarded. Yea, if i played it over i'd bet out .65 of the pot PF like you said, maybe scaring away the other chasers.
