Stars 150 Hand - HCPB

[Chief911]

This is another hand from the Help Chief Play Better (hcpb) series.

We are down to probably 15 or so. I have been very tight, and have a good image. Villian in this hand has been somewhat tight as well, and we had not had a BvB battle at all. Then this hand comes up.

I think there were three critical points in this hand, and one made the next one worse. But would like opinions on each street. I'll start with the flop. Its certianly debatable that I could/should have raised/folded preflop, but I dont feel like that was one of the big problems I had in this hand.
