Re: Standard or foolish?
I don't think your play was particularly standard or foolish depending on how the BB plays. You're something like 33% to win outright and you're betting $80 into a $80 pot. If the BB will fold any reasonable percentage of the time, your play will show a profit. So the two questions you need to answer to figure out if your play was good or not are:
1) what hands would BB call $25 on the flop with and then fold to a pot sized bet on the turn?
2) how much would BB pay off with hands they would call $25 with if you just check the turn and hit your straight or flush on the river?
The higher #1 is, the better your play was. The higher #2 is, the worse your play was. Make sense?
