What do you think about this hand? I was playing quite well in this session, but I don't think I did too well on this hand.
My read on this opponent was that he might be calling with a weak Ace. Maybe AT - AQ. He wasn't a strong player and I had been playing with him for a while.
If he had a full stack, I'm not sure how the hand would have gone. I might have been more cautious my bets might have been a bit less.

What's your opinion on the hand? Did I play really badly?

 so you flopped top 2 and lost 38 bucks to a set...you should be happy

you are almost never good when he shoves the river over your bet, but if villain wasnt a retard ( he needs to raise this flop with bottom set), your money would have been in on the flop anyway.
My bankroll is the amount of money I would spend or lose before I got a job. It is calculated by adding my net worth to whatever I can borrow.

is there no way to get away from this?
i thought overrating 2 pair is amateur play? and I thought that a better player would lose less money in this spot.

i agree that he should have reraised the flop. he was quite a poor player

Unless you have magical powers or the other guy turns his cards face up, no.

You have given no reads. You have stated no other usefull stats at all.

He could have easily been drawing on that board.
