Re: The old if I check I lose play...so why not bet
Question for OP: Were you intending to represent the flush if it hit on the river? What was the plan for the river when calling the turn?
Sometimes plays like this look like they happened because the player got him/herself into a difficult position and is trying to buy their way out, which often backfires.
As played it looks pretty nice. If you can find a player that tends to fold the river way too often in this spot, then it can be very profitable, and I think it is also a nice way to protect your drawing hands, so that your opponents can't be 100% sure you've hit your draws.
