How is this?

I just sat down and thus have no reads. I did lose $5 on my first hand on a missed flush draw, though the hand didn't go to showdown so I don't know if that would affect my image in any meaningful way.

Gotta raise more preflop, I make it at least $3.50 here. Turn looks ok, I may just shove myself.

I was torn on this. I checked because I assumed an average player will bet more hands than they call with here. Is this assumption OK?

Yeah I like it. Giving a free card shouldn't hurt us really and if he checks it through we can just shove river.

Apart from the small reraise pf (need to raise him by at least 3 x his raise amount, so to atleast $3 here), all streets are ok. I like the turn check for exactly the reason you gave.
