Ummm...I'm gonna say "you could have played it better".

1) Why did you call pre-flop? This is either a raise or fold situation
(personally, I would fold given a min-raise from UTG).

2) Once you called, you got lucky since no one re-raised behind you.
You're now hoping for a set or better...or possibly something like a
765 or 976 rainbow...you completely missed the flop and should give it
up.

3) Given that you bet T1600 into a T3800 pot (a probe bet), you
pot-committing yourself when there are 2 overcards on the board and
"prime draws" available? Either go all-in or check-fold. Going all-in
gives you a lot more fold equity than betting T1600.

you're totally right in everything you said.  when i said i know i did the right
thing, i meant as far as being pretty confident i was ahead of that one
dude...not a perfectly played hand, i was just annoyed for being sucked
out...ive had an hour to calm down, and realize i wasn't totally sucked out in
that he had 10 outs, Ks, Js, and 10s to beat me...not just the 4 10s.

in the immediate aftermath of the hand i was thinking he was drawing to 4 outs. 
basically i just wanted to vent...i realize now it wasn't played perfectly and
wasn't a total suck out...just trying to get rid of some frustration....
