heres my 2 cents.

I see ur points on the weak flop bets, and in pratice it works quite well when u mix it between good hands and just continuation bets.

but if I were u I woulda bet more like 3/4 the pot on the turn, too many draws. and the weak hands that called u on the flop will most likely still call u on the turn if u make this bet.

about the river, well bad luck. I would prolly do the check reraise as well, or bet then rereraise. You just have to pay him here since u got so many other hands beat ( lower sets, two pair etc).

basically, this is what it boils down to: When u make weak bets on the early streets u get alot of weak hands to pay u off, but once in a while ppl will runner runner u, if u cant take that, dont make those weak bets. I cant deal with the emoitional stress this kinda play gives me atm, so I bet stronger, but if ur up for the occational bad beat, sure go ahead and invite em in.

in the end its up to u.
