Ok Play Foreal

Ok after yesterday's debacle, I bought in $30 to 2 $.25/.50 NL Holdem tables, and a $15+1 Holdem Sit'n'Go determined to play smart and win..

I wanted some feedback on this hand and how you would have played it

On the flop, I was pretty sure he had me beat with at least the top pair and so I just called hoping to hit my draw and when I did, I thought I'd check it to pretend like I was afraid that he might have had it..Unfortunately, the flush card came out and I thought I'd do the safe thing and just call

How would you have played this hand?


And check out this misclick, I was going to push him all in cause I knew he had nothing..
