Had it not been for this, and one other hand, I would have ended the evening by doubling up rather than being a little down. Was this just a little stupid/unlucky, or was I being really stupid? On the turn I knew I had it, but didn't want to scare him off. On the river, I'm thinking AK beats me... but there's no way he has it...

I bet the flop to try and buy it/build a little pot. I definitly bet the turn very frequently. It feels like you want him to river something but they usually dont even have outs to make a good second best hand in these situations. Just waiting for the river to bet will either doom the pot to be a tiny pot in your favor or a huge pot against you.

So you would even have bet the gutshot on the flop? What size of bet? Would you lay it down on a reraise?

Makes total sense. I'm sure I've read similar thoughts many times before now in the beginner forum, but I guess it takes losing money to make it really stick with you. Hopefully I've got this concept now.

Lead the flop for 15, it's called a continuation bet. If op whiffs on the flop, he'll fold. Of course you fold to a raise.

Also, on the river there's no value in the reraise. When your opponent raises you, just call, since it's obvious you're at best going to split the pot.
