FCBM!!!
Even in a $5 game, you're not getting 3-bet with just a set.
In a $5 game, AKos 3bets you here.
the turn i think can be a check. we don't bet our draws, thats costing us a price for something that we want for free. we do however bluff them because if we get a fold often enough then the amount of times villain call and we hit our flush and get paid are profitable.
here though i don't think villain folds often enough on the turn after calling the flop bet. here i think youre not semibluffing, youre paying a price to draw when you would like it for free. there are many ways to play these streets here but i think you should consider checking some of your draws rather than voluntarily paying for them.
And the river raise is dangerous, you are correct in feeling like you need to get paid because you paid quite a price to finally see if you will hit youre flush. but you open yourself to getting reraised which you can't really actually call. your entire lines from villain point of view screams flush. he will likely check call a set, if he bets then he will likely fold to a rerasie (you will rarely get paid by worse), if he re raising you big you have an awful time wondering if hes betting with a better flush or just bluffing you.
its a daniel negraneu move to check the turn and he can do it because sometimes he'll bluff any heart.
its a daniel negraneu move to never raise this river.
end thoughts.
