SB bets t50, Hero calls t50, UTG raises to t200, CO calls t200, Button folds, SB folds, Hero raises to t900

UTG is semi laggy and i've had 1 hand won without showdown. 0 for 0 in showdowns until this point. Basically getting no cards, took a few stabs at pots but folded to reraises.

Looking back, it might seem obvious that i'm weak. Thoughts?

I generally don't chase flushes on paired boards unless it is really cheap.

With an initial better AND a raiser, I think you might even be drawing dead here.

drawing dead to which hands?

Its pretty bad IMO. Why would you check the ten or a set the first time? However, its very possible that no one has anything to call you with. Thats your only hope, cause the fact that you have nothing or very little is very obvious.

i figured it was a great time to bluff and gain some much needed chips because they dont have a T, and i have a draw in case i'm called.

btw, i'm posting this because i thought it was bad.
