Oh boy...

Raise pre-flop easy. Bet flop easy (what were you thinking here?)

I hates every street apart from the river.

My eyes! Ze goggles do nothing!

Can you post your reasoning on

1. Why you didn't raise PF, and

2. Why you didn't bet the flop?

I didn't raise PF cuz I'm a moron... solved

I didn't bet the flop because (and please correct my thinking here) .. I had a bunch of people still in and I didn't want to bet a SB having most call, thus justifying another bet for flush chasers based on pot odds on the turn if another club doesn't fall (I hope that makes sense... again, correct me if I'm wrong please!)

Just bet, your equity is too high not to make this value bet. Nothing really is gained by keeping the pot small.

I'm very much a beginner and i am wondering why not raise on the flop?

you are giving a free card to everybody at a terrible time

Without viewing any other responses...

PF: Raise this bad boy. You need to thin the field somewhat.
F: I don't like a check/raise here because you only have one player behind you, and if he doesn't bet you could give away the flush to someone. CHARGE THEM TO HIT THIS FLUSH!
T: You avoided the flush and now someone with MP or even Ace-Rag is betting into you, the raise is wonderful.
R: Not a wonderful card, but not really a bad one either. You most likely have the hand one, so why not squeeze one last BB out of this?
