oh, and was Check Raising the right move in this situation, my initial thought was to see what the PFRaiser was going to do. I thought I could get him trying to buy the pot after a missed flop.

Should I have made my Top 2 pair known right away? a 15k+ bet was required to remove any flush/strt draws off the odds. I don't think It would have changed the outcome of the hand anyway.
