This hand pissed me off a bit even tho I was happy to win it. The reason I only doubled the blind was because at this table anyone betting out 4BB PF was getting it all folded to him and I definetly did not want just the blinds. On the flop I knew I was ahead but wanted to get as many callers as possible, also I had been stealing some pot on the flops and thought most would call to see if I had the goods. Turn I bet only .30 hoping they would both call again, I had a read that they both didnt have a hand. Then the river they both left I was hoping one would try to steal it off me trying to bluff a boat on me but no luck.

So was htere a way I coulda made more money on this hand at this pretty tight draw chasing table?

i think a couple o them fellas was on a draw. that 4d on the river didn't fill anyone's hand. they probably put you on a high pair (or good A). the second seven hit and they couldn't beat two pair.

the only way you were makin more was if a club hit the river

 Put in a real raise preflop.. min-raises accomplish nothing. Triple the BB at the very least. Put a real bet out on the flop. Again, 1/4 pot size doesn't cut it.. especially when there is a flush draw and multiple straight draws out there. Ditto with the turn.. put a real raise out there. I know you had a monster preflop, on the flop, turn, and river, but you have to bet your hands. Don't be afraid to bet your monsters because "you are afraid they will fold."

So let me get this straight. You're at a 5¢-10¢ table and it's tight? I didn't just fall off the banana boat. I've NEVER seen a tight min stakes table in my life. Even your hand history suggest otherwise.

Your only goal at a low stakes table is to bet your ass off when you feel you have the best hand. People will call you if they have anything. In this case they had nothing, and still payed you all the way to the river.

No, there's no way you make too much more money off of this. You simply had all the cards.
It's not what's inside that counts. Have you seen what's inside?
Internal organs. And they're getting uglier by the minute.

Raise to 5x preflop
If you get no callers thats ok
If you get a caller or two bet half the pot on the flop.
If they fold thats ok. If they call bet 1/2 the pot on the turn.
If they call bet 1/4 the pot on the river.

Your bets are really weak, I play RVP too and my standard Pre flop raise is 5x. It nearly always gets callers.

 On the flop with four people remaining you started the betting @ 18% of the pot. With the club flush draw @ 36%, you should have bet AT LEAST THAT AMOUNT (ex) $0.50 or .60. penny tables entice callers that shouldn't be calling, so you probably could have had a couple callers with that bet.

In summary: When you have the best hand, represent and bet large. Anything else is an opportunity to catch up. If you have pocket aces after the flop, your opponent(s) have a better opportunity of improving their hand than you do).

You want to get more money before the flop when they have nothing but a hand that looks good like K Q or even a low pair, so if the flop does come rags you got some money already.
