I think not raising after these first two bets was criminal, although I figured they probably weren't too happy with their hands with the min-betting. Not to mention I was letting them see a cheap turn card if the first bettor didn't reraise even though the board was really only good looking (and also only threatening to me) for OESD's that wouldn't pay you off too much unless you charged them to draw. Most turn broadway cards probably would've killed the action if someone had tpgk and didn't hit 2 pair.
The second thing I believe I did wrong was basically tell them that I had a really strong hand after raising three bets/raises out of nowhere signalling I want the action. Although I likely should've raised after the first bet/raise, does anybody not raise after the first bettor reraises and let someone else lead out for a hopefully decent bet on the turn? Obviously the reraise is what I was looking for but it was just so weak and didn't tell me too much about how much he was willing to pay to see the turn.
