too agressive?

[Kenshin]

I recently moved up to 5-10 and have suffered a series of set-backs. Did I push this draw too hard?

OK, chasing up unreplied posts.

Kenshin this is how I would have prefered to play it, and why.

Preflop. I MUCH prefer to limp in this spot. You've got weak suited's that could be just dominated. Add to the fact they're suited and there's 4 to act after you I you want to entice as many of them to call as you can imo. The tighter the limpers the moreso.

Turn, I like the Bet, I don't like the 3-bet. It's not a semi-bluff imo, as he isn't going to fold. He checkraised you, that shows me he has a fairly strong hand, or at least one he isn't going to fold.
What makes it worse is that if the flush hits the river you have ruined your chance of raising AND you've opened yourself up to the 3-bet.
So I don't 3-bet and take the free showdown if he calls, I just call and raise the River if I flush/trip/2pair.
