2/5 cent hand
Even though I won, I hadn't played many hands at the table yet, was I way too aggressive here??
Something inside me just told me he was drawing, and somehow when he raised it on the turn it made me more sure of that than less.
Thing is, he could've had a set of 4's or 2 pair with the A10 or A9 here pretty easily, so I think I played this actually pretty badly all things considered, and got lucky that he didn't have a huge hand on me.
But as always I'm usually wrong so I'd like to hear some feedback.

I think the thing that confuses me most is him calling after I repop him on the turn, what can he beat here?? Total air? lol I think the re-raise by him was actually a pretty decent play on the turn representing A9 or A10, but calling the re-raise by me is kinda weird.

Otherwise, flop play conti bet is good.
Turn the bet is good, but his re raise should have thrown flags up. What could YOU beat other than a bluff? AQ, AK, AT, A9, 44 are all in his range here. But its a min raise, so I don't mind the call and then re evaluate on the river, considering your pot committed.
You got lucky he fell in love with his small pair and refuse to let it go. Both played bad imho, but you ended up with the win.

Okay, you've got a decent hand, but you're in the worst position at the table... fuck eh? Oh well, hopefully nobody'll raise in front of me.

Ahh fuck, depends on the guy, if he's tight (I check my pokertracker stats on him, if his VPIP is around 20%, I probably fold, if it's closer to 35%, with raising around 20, I think he's more aggressive), but he's also on the button, and may just be stealing the blinds (I'll assume he's loose and likely on a steal then to follow your action).

Not a big enough re-raise IMO... the pot, after you call will be 7 BB (big blinds), your raise of another 5 Big Blinds makes it a 5 Big blind call into a pot of 12 big blinds.... giving him a little under 2.5:1 on his money. He would be making the right call to call here with almost any two cards. I would go bigger, I read somewhere that a re-raise should put a pot-sized bet back at him, so 7 BB back, or in this case, a re-raise to .50 cents.

*** FLOP *** [4d Ts Ad]
(Pot is now $0.85, or 17BB, and I have >100BB left)
Alright, I hit top pair, decent kicker, there's two different draws out there. I'm behind AK, AQ, AT, and A4, T4 or a set. I don't think he'd just call pre-flop with AK, maybe with AQ/AT, A4 is a bad call, but these are bad players, but not T4 bad. Sets could happen, but any other pocket pair I'm beating - aside from AA, which is very unlikely. Time for a feeler bet!

*** TURN *** [4d Ts Ad] [9h]
(Pot is now 1.85 or 37BB, and I have >100BB left)
Okay, he called, and the turn didn't make any draws... is he trapping? If I had a set on the flop, I'd want to protect it a bit more by re-raising, same with two pair... I think I'm good here unless he's a real pussy with AQ.
Quinner777: bets $1.80
stegolas: raises $1.80 to $3.60
Hrm.. now he re-raises, could it be a set?But who raises the minimum? Is he hoping for value, or is he a bad bluffer?Pot is now 7.25 (145BB), and I have 3.50 left (70BB)..I'm not calling, but either pushing or folding.My previous thoughts put him on AQ that beats me, what could he be calling with that I'm beating? Ax that isn't a 9, 10, or 4.. maybe... He may have called with something like JQ / QK, possibly with two diamonds, which means he would (at best) have 15 outs, making me a roughly 70% favorite to win. I've invested $2.70, or 54 BB, it will cost me 70BB more to win a pot that will be (if called) 249BB, so more than 3:1... Yea, I think I'm going here.

Although I didn't take the time to do it, I'd also adjust all my bets on each street higher as per my bigger pre-flop re-raise.
