I don't like your raise on the turn. You should have just called because the raise is worthless. The only people calling your raise are the ones who can beat it.

raise the flop to take it then and there.

Raise the turn, despite what the other guy said, lots of hands will call you that you beat.

Do not raise the flop, you're still drawing.

Your turn raise looks too big to me. Id make it 6 or 7.
