$25 NL, big draw with position. I still messed up.

[restless]

Villain was IMO a solid player.

Do you guys agree on my self-analysis here:

preflop: ok
flop: IF i should raise, its too small. BUT, SB probably realises that I don't have the goods now. if I had the straigth i'm likely to let him bet again on the turn right? Doesn't this make it too easy for SB to put me on a draw?

turn: my raise is too small for him to fold now? better just call the bet hoping to hit on the river.

IF I had smooth called the flop I could have reraised big on a safe card right?

So, all in all: 2 bad semi-bluffs that cost me a lot when I could've drawn cheaper.

Your opinion please.
