ok..its heads up after 4+ hours of freeroll play. i will post the final hand. looking for anything i could have done differently. i know i should have raised on the flop, but i was almost a 3:1 chip dog so i was going for maximium extraction.

Your overreaching for incorrect play. Not getting all your money in on any street there would have been the real mistake. Sometimes you can't win. You could obviously fold it preflop or push the flop. But you played it right from what I see. Don't beat yourself up over bad luck.

i dont mind losing to a bigger full house when its heads up. i just was thinking that maybe if i had raised on the flop, he would have folded or would he have called?

Depends how much, but I wouldn't really want him to fold there. Much more likely that you will be payed off when a 5 comes or just by making value bets. Looking at how you could have protected yourself from a bad beat isn't always right. It was heads up and the way you played it you will make more then you lose for sure.

Him folding to you there before the turn would have been much worse for you then anything else.
