The flop bet just seemed so weak that I raised it up. He thought for a long time and finally called. I took the free card and hit my A on the river but it completed the flush and he could now have two pair with AJ so I took the free showdown. Was this raise on the flop a good move since I only had the overcard outs? Should I have followed through on the turn?
