In general, if you want more chips in the pot, then you should bet/raise when it's your turn. You should avoid closing the action.

This is exactly why you should raise. You have the best hand and you think they will not fold.
(If playing deep-stack poker) you should bet 1 BB less than the amount you think they will fold. You want to get as much money in the pot as fast as you can.

YOU SHOULD NOT WANT THIS. You aren't the one with the flush draw!
You should bet in such a way that even when the flush draw comes in, you still win money by exploiting the amount they payed for the draw. In the long run, they will miss more than they hit, and you want to be on the winning side of the long-term.

These are reasons to bet/raise.

I felt that I was in the lead with the ranges I put them on and would be going all in with the best hand.
This is decent reasoning.
What are these ranges you speak of?

You want to maximize your wins and/or minimize your losses on every decision. It's not about the size of the pot you win in any one hand, it's about making every decision a net gain (or at least not a net loss).
When you settle for a pot that could have been bigger, then you're costing your own bottom line.

It's all good. Please take my advice as friendly.
I know I can sound like a monkey sometimes, but I mean well.
