I struggle with this sort of thing sometimes too. Sometimes my read is such that I know or think I know someone is full of it, but, I just don't have the hand to do anything about it. It can be frustrating, but, I make that sort of raise sometimes.

In your example, I think it's harder with a flush board. Another thing is deciding up front whether you are going to follow up or not if the 3rd club comes. Sometimes I don't think it through. If you raise with the 2clubs I think you have to believe he doesn't have clubs, and if that's your plan then you have to bet into him on the turn and call him down. OTOH I often wonder if I have to put someone on specific cards first before making that play or not. Usually I see some crap like J6o when I try that. I don't think it's +EV longterm and it's sort of instant gratification. IE trying to win pots not money. But I suffer the same sort of combativeness.
