I wouldn't consider this a bad beat story. A bad beat is when you should have won, but someone drew out on you after making a stupid call. A bad beat is when you do everything right, but it all comes out wrong.
This is a story about me getting outplayed. I have put the hand history below and am curious as to anyone's insight on what I should have done differently

** Dealing Flop ** [ 5d, Jh, 2d ] not perfect, but I have a draw to the nut flush (9 outs) + overcards (6 outs). With 15 outs, I consider myself the favorite here, assuming he didn't flop a set. The only hand ULLGOBROKE would have raised pre-flop with is JJ. CRBELLA may have any of the 3 sets. Let's see. CRbella checks. ah yes. gimme free card UllGoBroke checks. ahhhh, he checked. No JJ phreaux checks.
** Dealing Turn ** [ 5c ]
CRbella checks.
UllGoBroke checks.
phreaux checks. check, check - YAHOO. I get two free cards to make my flush. I dont want to bet, bc maybe a trap is being laid ** Dealing River ** [ Qd ] BINGO That is my miracle card CRbella checks.
UllGoBroke bets [$20]. Oh my, not only did I get my sweet sweet flush, he is betting my hand for me. Probably on a steal, let's see. I'll bet $60. phreaux raises [$60].
CRbella folds.
UllGoBroke raises [$80]. OK, either he is still pursuing a bluff or he has a hand. My rule of thumb is that a re-reaise is almost never a bluff. So what does he have? Oh, I know. He checked until that third diamond came, so he made a flush. But what hand could make a flush that would warrant a pre-flop raise? Hmm, KdTd. Oh, I get it. He made a set here...a set of queents. He thinks maybe I just have lowly AQ. Stupid fucker. I am going rape him. phreaux raises [$80]. Take that UllGoBroke is all-In. I am so rich phreaux calls [$39].
phreaux shows [ Ad, Td ] a flush, ace high. YAHOOOOOO UllGoBroke shows [ Jc, Jd ] a full house, Jacks full of fives. You know that look on Matt Damon's face when Teddy shows AA? That was me. I typed "nh" in the chat box and then went to bed. UllGoBroke wins $387 from the main pot with a full house, Jacks full of fives.
