I raised because I thought he may donk with a flush draw.
It was a bad read.
A few other leaks from this post:
1) don't place too much emphasis on "reads". Learn how to play this game in a more simple manner. Think of range instead. For example, think of what hand he could have limp preflop? Is it pp? Is it Suited connectors? Etc... Then narrow it further. On this paired flop, he made a small value bet into 3 players. What hand strength is he representing? Maybe it's middle pp? Maybe it's 22? Maybe it's Jx? After this, think of what you can achieve by raising? Can u get middle pp to call u? Or u will fold out hands u already beat?
This thinking process may sound daunting when u first employ it. But it can be done. And it must be done!
2) another leak that I noticed is that you think you can "predict" human behavior. Don't do that! Human is one of the most erratic animals who do not always act according to logic. Don't bother to predict what ur villain will/will not do.
