Dumb play, dumb luck

Here's the log from one hand last night. My annotations are in blue. ***** Hand History for Game 1434222038 *****

** Dealing down cards **
Dealt to laurict [ 9c, Ac ]
[A9 suited. If it makes it back to me without a raise, I'll call for $2 more; nut flush would be nice.]
badsaw calls (3)
skottish folds.
OffSuit68 folds.
PokerSins calls (3)
crib1 calls (3)
giabizinc calls (3)
cashjunkie calls (3)
laurict calls (2)
[Good deal. Let's see the flop.]
NYPokerClub checks.
** Dealing Flop ** : [ Tc, 4h, Jc ]
[Seven players. $21 in the pot.]
laurict bets (3)
[Nut flush draw. Bet to scare out other players on a draw. Maybe not the best move.]
NYPokerClub folds.
badsaw calls (3)
PokerSins raises (6) to 6
[Hmmm... didn't want to see that.]
crib1 folds.
giabizinc folds.
cashjunkie calls (6)
laurict calls (3)
[$36 in the pot. I've got two draws and 9 outs. A $3 call is the right move here.]
badsaw calls (3)
** Dealing Turn ** : [ Ts ]
[$42 pot. Darn. Anyone holding a ten has a set now. I've got a 9/46 chance of getting my flush.]
laurict bets (6)
[Pot odds say that with 9 outs and one card to go, the pot should be at least $31 to make a $6 bet. It is; I do.]
badsaw calls (6)
PokerSins calls (6)
cashjunkie raises (12) to 12
[I think he hit his set.]
laurict calls (6)
[The pot's still more than $31. Another $6 is the right move here (I think).]
badsaw folds.
PokerSins calls (6)
** Dealing River ** : [ Ah ]
[Giving me two pair, Aces over tens, which is worse than cashjunkie's set. My nut flush draw failed.]
laurict checks.
PokerSins checks.
cashjunkie bets (6)
[Yup. He's got me beat.]
laurict calls (6)
[What?!? At this point, I'm throwing money away because I don't want him to buy it. Stupid, stupid play. A fold is the best move here; a raise would be second best. My calling just is trying to make sure I lose. What was I thinking?]
PokerSins calls (6)
[I'd put him on a flush draw at this point. I figured he'd fold.]

cashjunkie balance $143.5, lost $27 [ Qc 5c ] [ a pair of tens -- Ah,Qc,Jc,Tc,Ts ]

I shouldn't have won that one. I'd have probably tossed the hand if I'd been anywhere other than limping in on a blind.

I should add, although it's pretty obvious, that this was a $3/$6 limit Texas Hold 'Em table.
