This isn't a huge tough decision hand, but it's small losses like this that add up. How was my play?

What were you thinking when you reraised MP1 $1.20? (Curiously, not condecendingly, did you have a read that suggested he would fold? Did you want him to fold?) That type of raise/reraise usually signals 2pair or a set. Then when you check the turn (on a non-scare card) that implies that you were on a draw/bluff. Same with the river.

I'd call the flop bet and try and keep the pot manageable thereafter.

You could have continued to fire big bets on the turn and river and hope the villian fold. (Like $2.50 on the turn, and $4 on the river), but that comes close to hard-core chip spewing.

I'd guess MP1 had AJ hearts or a set of 4s.

Looks fine to me, except I fold on the river when I am getting 37:1 on my call.

I kid, I kid.

I raised the flop for info. I had TPGK, I figured if he stayed in the hand I was beat, hence why I checked the turn, and called the micro bet on the river.

Why do you need to raise to find out you are beat?

Typically I would fold this preflop with only 1 limper ahead, if I do play it without more limpers then I am going to play it for a raise and hopefully take it down with a cbet. If I am limping this hand then I am not looking for top pair, Im looking to play for the nut flush. By limping these hands and making big pots out of them when you shouldnt you are giving away too much money

Because at 10 NL people will bet like this if they have Axo, or even the middle pair.

on the second hand, i would bet the flop harder, and i might lead the turn sometimes, but otherwise i like it.

i betcha that i got something you ain't got, that's called courage, it don't come from no liquor bottle, it ain't scotch
