Another reason why you need to bet and bet and bet when you have a hand. No way he puts me on the flush when I am overbetting the pot on the flop and the turn.

If I had just called his turn bet, all the action dies on that river. Get the money in the middle when you have a hand.

That's pretty standard IMO with a small flush. You can't give free/cheap cards.

I like the overbets though, I should try that more often.
