    At the time, I was thinking, "I've got a flush draw! And a straight draw! And if nothing else, I've at least got an ace!" But I don't think I played this well. Where could I improve? Bet more on the flop? Re-raise on the flop?

    Don't bet the flop. Just because you have draws doesn't mean you have a hand. Plus, your ace doesn't mean jack shit. If you pair it, it will probably be beaten by a higher ace. This is a good situation to check/call if you are given correct odds.
    My sig is too much for you to handle.

    It would really help if you were in position.

    If you were on the button you could bet or raise, and potentially get a free river card, when your opponents check to the bettor on the turn.

    As played, fold the turn. The reraise gives you no pot odds. I don't like the $2 bet into a $2.70 pot is way to much for an unmade hand.

    You may even be drawing dead. You were reraised on the flop, reraised even more on the turn. Does he have two pair? K5? K4 for a full house?

    You saw a flop for cheap, but its not cheap at all to call off your stack with A high.

    Check fold the turn

    Too many people in the pot to be betting a draw.

    i think you played it great except for the bet on the turn was absurd with resistance on flop.....check fold turn if u dont get the odds...
