PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $0.10 BB (8 handed) Poker-Stars Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: FlopTurnRiver Cards)

SB ($10)
Hero ($11.20)
UTG ($10.60)
UTG+1 ($11.40)
MP1 ($8.50)
MP2 ($13.20)
CO ($5.65)
Button ($9.40)

Preflop: Hero is BB with , .
5 folds, Button raises to $0.5, 1 fold, Hero raises to $0.9, Button calls $0.40.

Flop: ($1.85) , , (2 players)
Hero bets $0.3, Button raises to $1.3, Hero calls $1.

This was a horrible miss click (i wanted to bet $0.90) and i felt sick until he raised.
Is $0.90 enough here or should i be betting more??


Turn: ($4.45) (2 players)
Hero bets $1.2, Button raises to $4, Hero calls $2.80.

I only bet $1.20 here because i didn't want to scare him off, but now that i think about it i should have bet at least half the pot. Thankfully he raised.

River: ($12.45) (2 players)
Hero checks, Button checks.

How bad is this check?? He can't have the straight (although i've seen stranger things), but if he does, and raises me, can i call??
So i thought if i check he may check it down fearing the straight.

Final Pot: $12.45

He had AK

Did i play this too weak ???? (the miss click aside)

 Preflop is way to small. Make it $1.50. Don't forget you'll be OOP the whole hand.

Flop I bet 3/4-full. Stop betting 1/2 pot on flops until you understand why and when it's better than full pot or less.

Your turn bet is terrible. You've got top set and you have to put him on specifically QT to be behind. Bet $3 and call a push.

River you have $6 in a $12 pot. There is no worry of being c/r because you're either betting $6 or c/c.

I had a real bad run for a while in nlhe (probably my own fault), and now im all messed up because i second guess everything and never have faith in my reads.
I have just started playing it again and i appreciate the help.

 Think about this. If we raise to $1.50 pre and get called the pot is $3. We bet $3 on the flop, if he raises, he has to raise all-in. If he calls there is now $9 in the pot and we have $6 behind making the turn a trivial push.

Hard decisions are gone. If he has a K, where does he fold at 10NL?

You have to get it all in on the turn.
