The Turn bluff would have worked better after a flop call, would you have made that raise with a flush draw? probably not so you shouldnt represent a made flush if you didnt represent a flush draw.
Having said all that the check raise bluff is a powerful high risk move, and high risk means it will loose a lot some times. If you really thought about it at the time, and decided it would probably work then it was a decent play if however you pulled it without the proper thought process before hand it was a bit of a spew.
One thought did you decide before the Check raise you were going to shove the river?

Thanks for your thoughts. I agree it doesn't look so good!
The c/r on the flop was totally designed to elicit a fold, and to be brutally honest I didn't really think through properly what I would do if villain called or shoved over.
I often raise the flop with a flush draw, because I think that with 35% equity plus fold equity it is often +EV. So the club turn was probably a good card to bluff, but I have to admit that it wasn't very that well thought through. My thought process was closer to "oh f***, he's called my raise, its a big pot, I have to go with it now ... at least I have lots of outs if he calls". I think one of my massive leaks is to almost "panic shove" in situations like that, rather than stop and think through the situation, especially when I'm over tired and perhaps tilting a bit.
