SB check-raised the flop despite not knowing who would bet. Luckily for him, I was the bettor so he could trap the field. I thought he either had two-pair or a set on the flop. But then he checks the turn? Either he had a draw or wanted to check-raise again. For some irrational reason I thought he was trying to be tricky and check-raise again. I should have bet that turn to not give free cards.
When he led out the river, I put him on the flush. But then I raised? I should have certainly gone for overcalls here. SB could have had the a-high flush and MP and Button were calling stations (as long as it wasn't two bets on the river) so they probably would have called.
