How could I have played differently?

There's no way to answer in a sensible way without a read on Villain.
Was he a reg? A fish? Capable of bluffing? Capable of folding to a bluff?



What's Villain's range to call Pre-Flop?
then
What's Villain's range to call a "tiny" (less than half-pot) bet on the flop?
then
What's Villain's range to min-raise your 2nd tiny bet this hand on the turn?


Is it possible he's responding to your weak bets with a bluff to steal?

Or is that totally out of character for this Villain, and any raise, no matter how small, probably means he can beat a pair of Aces?



Live poker is about beating each villain individually. You can see them. The game moves at a glacial pace. An orbit takes ~half hour or more and you fold more than half your hands pre-flop. You're there. You ain't doin' nothin' else. Watch the table. Adjust your play to suit the specific opponent(s) in the hands you play.



There's no right way to have played this hand. There's only how you play it against one villain or another.

He just sat down and was the third hand. I knew I was ahead when he called flop bet (live poker does have some advantages).
He raised me on the turn and I called too fast. The only hand that would have raised the turn and knowing was gonna get called was 89 or 10 10 I guess. He put me all in on the river and I said "show me your straight." Sure enough he turned over 8 9. The more I think about it, even if I bet the pot on the flop he would have called anyway, so I was destined to lose my stack. I'm just looking back and wonder if I should have folded the turn.
