LE:
here's what I was thinking - On the flop, since the bet was so small I called, I always call a min bet which I consider like a check. On the turn, I played my hand like I always do with a draw, semibluffing and on the river I continued with my plan: I made my flush so I bet and called the small raise. The question is if it's optimal (long term) to call there and not raise all-in, but there may be leaks in this hand even before this decision.
