To think I almost folded it pre-flop...

and look at the trouble it got me into. Now I'll be the first to admit, my play was far from optimal, initially I had planned to check/call the flop and check/raise the turn. After the checkraise by the guy in front of me, I was nervous about the straight so I just called hoping to fill up....and fill up I did.
