hi, could you guys please look at the following hand progression and tell me if i could have played this hand differently? i am "buckeyes77" by the way. the big question is when i called the $4 bet after the turn. should i have re-raised instead at this point? my reasoning for calling was that i figured i had a good chance of having the highest flush with the K  and wanted to trap a possible lower flush draw. unfortunately, after the river GiantPeach went all in. i figured there was a good chance (>50%) that he had the A but at this point I was pretty much pot-committed and had to call. should i have tried to take it down after the turn or did i play it right and just get beat straight up? any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

please post your hands in a more readable manner
and please raise that turn, your hand is still vulernable as you found out ... if they're going to draw against you make em pay to do so

Sorry about the format, is there any way to format Bodog hand histories correctly?
Salche, I thought that was the correct play. Thanks for comfirming!
