Typical passive .50/1 table, hardly a raise in quite awhile. Comments?

The turn bet is interesting. Are you trying to build the pot up in case you hit your flush? Drive players out? I probably would have checked hoping to get a free card. Not saying its the correct play, though.

EDIT: preflop raise is also interesting.

I would fold pre-flop sometimes, but if I go in I'd definitely raise. After the flop I would play it the same way.

played fine in my opinion.. you won't lose money by betting the turn unless you get a raise.. then it might be bad

I prefer a check/call on the turn. If you have the button (esp. HU) then a bet is more called for, but this seems a bit too much like spewing on the turn for me.

I tend to check the turn, what do you think about that. Is it a bet b/c of your A? If you had just the flush draw and no overs would you still bet this turn?
I like the river bet.

I often find myself in this situation where I raise a decent hand PF, whiff the flop and keep betting hoping to drive folks out on the flop and turn when each street is checked to me. Recently, I'm trying to determine if this is a spewing leak for me.

However, the situation I'm referring to above usually involves overcards, and we're looking at the nut flush draw here. Given the small'ish size of the pot and only 2 opponents, I think I might check call.

Everything looks fine to me.

I like the PFR to try and buy the button. Even if you didn't scare the button off you still got a bunch of money into the pot before the flop came out. If I had bought the button I probably would have bet the flop if it was checked to me trying to get a free card next round.
