I don't know why I raised preflop. Maybe I wanted the blinds. Maybe I wanted to change my image at the table. Maybe I was on tilt. Maybe they had been folding all their blinds to me. That's not the reason I'm posting this. I wanna know what you think about the rest of the hand.

I raised on the flop because his bet shows weakness and because of how he had been playing earlier I thought he was drawing to a flush once he made the call.
Since he missed the flush on the turn. I bet into him again, so that my bet on the river wouldn't look like a steal.
On the river I make a small bet into him that he'll fold to if he was flush drawing.

It's quite a poor hand but there were some reads involved and that is why I continued to bet after the flop.

I made a similar post to this a couple of weeks ago where I bet into a few flush draws. Making a small bet into a flush draw on the river is quite a new play for me.

What do you think about the bet on the river?

Thanks.
BTW, I don't need a whole bunch of insults thrown at me. I see how bad I played.

Good reads. I might even raise more on the turn just to look like I'm denying him pot odds for his draw.

How about showing your bluff? That will change your table image for sure.
