I hate your pre flop call!!! (Yes I know you're getting 5-1, but you'll end up in trouble with hands like that!!!) Having said that, I spose you have enough chips to take a punt!!!

Your flop bet is a bit small - not sure what you want to achieve.....as you see he called you with just 2 overcards (as he would)!!! I suppose it's building the pot if you hit your mid flush..... but I wouldn't be wanting to play a big pot with that draw - I could accept a bigger bet (semi bluff) with the hope of taking the pot down.....
Again on the turn - you've hit your flush and have a str8 flush draw - what are you hoping to achieve with a 150 bet? Way too small!!! You should be making him pay if he is drawing to a higher flush (as he is with Qs) - you are giving him the right odds to outdraw you!!!!! You need to be setting your opponent the wrong odds - so they make a mistake if they call.

Your river bet is way too big, but what a donk to call he was!!!!

I'm sorry I still dont like the way you played it - you're not controlling the odds you're setting for your opponent!!!!
