I don't understand the point of your raise on the flop. Why are you trying to knock out the player to your left when you have a drawing hand?

Facing the SB heads up with position is going to improve your chances to win if you miss your draw.

Okay. I don't think it'll work often but I guess it doesn't have to with the amount of dead money in the pot due to the straddle, assuming he now folds. The raise costs an extra small bet plus the two additional small bets you plan to bluff with on the turn. That's an investment of 3 small bets to try to win 11. So the SB has to check fold on the turn about 28% for this to be profitable. If he calls the turn I think he'll call the river as well.

The other side of this is that the sb, if he is a good player, realizes that you are getting very good pot odds to bluff and will consequently call down with rather weak holdings.

If he sees OP playing bad poker, maybe he doesn't care.
