Re: What about this play....

The whole point about leading out the turn was to represent the flush.

Yes, I get it. The point is, you aren't going to represent your hand convincingly enough to get a fold, which is what you need. Were you already planning this elaborate check-hope-the-BB-doesn't-bet-so-I-can-face-him-with-2-cold-with-my-bizarro-play-"flush" river bluff?
Put another way, given the action, is it really possible that you do have a flush? Would you actually play a flush like this?
You gave way too much action, giving up lots of EV, but may have recovered some at the end with your desperation raise. Bravo for recognizing the situation and bluff-raising to potentially knock out the best hand and win the pot yourself. Boo for the rest.
