Bet harder on the flop? Check and bet if no heavy paint comes? Fold/reraise the turn bet?

Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em, $ Hero (9 handed) converter

SB ($73)
Hero ($15)
UTG ($47.95)
UTG+1 ($65.9)
MP1 ($19.5)
MP2 ($50)
MP3 ($20.4)
CO ($5.95)
Button ($172.5)

Preflop: Hero is BB with Q, 4. SB posts a blind of $0.25.
4 folds, MP3 calls $0.50, 1 fold, Button calls $0.50, SB (poster) completes, Hero checks.

Flop: ($2) 9, 4, 9 (4 players)
SB checks, Hero bets $1, MP3 calls $1, Button folds, SB folds.

Turn: ($4) A (2 players)
Hero checks, MP3 bets $2, Hero calls $2.

River: ($8) 8 (2 players)
Hero checks, MP3 bets $2, Hero calls $2.

Final Pot: $12

Check calling with 4s Q-kicker is silly.

The turn and the river were disgusting plays. I have no excuses. Betting the flop was bad as well? I was thinking that the worst part of the flop play was not betting the pot...

Betting the flop was fine.

Once you checked the turn, you quit the hand.

The only way you bet that flop is if you are prepared to fire off a nice size bet on the turn, no matter what hits. You can be certain an over card will fall, and the only way you can win the hand is for it not to be shown down.

I don't like getting involved in hands like this. If you win, you won't win much, and if you lose, you lose with a f'ing Q4. Even if another 4 hits, you can't bet with too much confidence.

Agree, after the turn I would hae placed a major bet makin my opponent think I got a 9
The winner always wins
