missed value raise?

[Chopper]

i picked up so many outs on the turn here, and the lead bet was so soft, i couldnt help but think i missed a great opportunity to raise softly for value. any other analysis would be good, too.

sorry no reads. but, i figured i had 30% equity on the turn. i couldve bumped this to $1.25 with implieds, right? too aggressive? was c/call better?

flop is better to bet at imo..less cards they can connect with and you have at least 30% vs made hands.
turn seems ok, donks play big hands like this i guess, unless your read is he's weak.

standard play for me is to bet flush draws. so, i was kind of "changing it up." the other reason for me not betting flop was i was well in position and there was a 4 way pot to a 4X raise pre flop. why drive customers out now? pot was plenty big, imo.

I don't think there's a need to "change it up" to players who don't adapt well (if at all). If the pot is plenty big, why not bet at it and try to win it instead of having to make your hand.

bet flop
as played call turn, nice to keep more players in for when you hit on the river. 5h would have been nice....
