NOT BEEN IN THE HAND!
I don't see any need to even be playing this hand. If you really wanted to see the flop then a preflop call should have been your maximum investment..IMO

If you take it down a huge percentage of the time on the flop, then what do you put him on when he calls = what are you trying to make him fold on the turn?

what range do you think he donks the flop with? what range do you think, he thinks you raise the flop with (if he even thinks this) and thus what range do you think he folds to your raise (which is a little too small)?

Smithers, use the amnesia ray.
You mean the revolver, sir?
Precisely.

Turn bet is pretty bad imo. I agree with what oskar said. Also, maybe try opening from the button for 3x instead of 4x. If you're gonna be able to steal the blinds then the difference from 3bb's to 4bb's prob won't matter, and you will be risking less.
Wikipedia is the best thing ever. Anyone in the world can write anything they want about any subject. So you know you are getting the best possible information.

I'm not sure if I would have went in preflop with that hand. But after he bet the flop with vpip of 22, I'd fold. Especially if I missed the flop. I'd think there's a good chance he's playing an Ax or high pair.

I don't know what impression you are trying to give. Like are you trying to tell him you had hit a flush on the turn? Cuz I'd think the re-raise on the flop shows that you definitely don't have the flush draw.

i think he donks with an underpair to that ace. i also think there's a good chance he'll fold to a flop re-raise if he doesn't have an ace

when he called, i thought he had an ace. the flush card hit so i raised to represent the flush
