Okay, this one isn't about a little missed value or a monster that I couldn't've escaped or a bad beat, it's a spot where I honestly don't know what I should've done and if I'm wrong I lose a whole buy in. I flop bottom two on a rainbow board with only a fairly unlikely straight draw, which isn't at all bad when I've just joined the table and got to see the flop for free, but while I'm probably ahead I'm also vulnerable so I come out betting. My turn bet is, shockingly, raised and suddenly I don't know where I stand. I called and check/called the river because I honestly don't see many hands that are beating me other than pocket pairs being limped from UTG.
This hand was not good for my heart, I think I need some advice.
