Good play? Bad play? Horrible play?

[Laeelin]

This is a blind defense gone wrong..

I just called what I though was a continuation bet on the flop, and reriased the turn (I thought he was just fireing another round).

Needless to say I really didnt think he would call the reraise. I had him on a bluff (or bottom/mid pair possibly)

On the river I pushed him all in because he checked to me, and the pot was $70 and he only had $40 left... I figured he would have bet if he was happy with his hand, so if I pushed and he folded more than half the time it would be +EV

I know I messed up the flop/turn..

But what about the river?

If you're going to make this play you need to raise the turn more. Raise to $45, if he calls, your done with the hand (check-check river).

with the turn as i did, was the river raise correct?

Does it matter? Since now you're going to correct the turn play this situation won't come up, right?

Shouldnt and Doesnt are two diffrent things....

Fine, it won't come up because you'll bet correctly next time.

anytime someone checks the river to you after a Raise on the turn i always push.

I don't know. You need to know the guy. Bluffing is my biggest leak by far. Huge bluffs don't show a profit for me. Pick your spots well and you should be ok, but be careful.
