BB ($8.97)
UTG ($8.26)
MP ($1.60)
Hero ($35.81)
SB ($0.88)

Preflop: Hero is Button with
UTG calls $0.05, 1 fold, Hero raises to $0.15, 1 fold, BB calls $0.10, UTG calls $0.10.

Flop: ($0.47) (3 players)
BB checks, UTG bets $0.1, Hero raises to $0.3, BB calls $0.30, UTG calls $0.20.

I'm just trying to keep people in the pot at this point hoping Villan has pocket pair.

Turn: ($1.37) (3 players)
BB checks, UTG bets $0.1, Hero raises to $0.7, BB calls $0.70, UTG calls $0.60.

How concerned should I be about him holding quads? I just assume he doesn't have it and if he oes-Ill py for it.

River: ($3.47) (3 players)
BB checks, UTG bets $0.55,
Hero?
results in white

Final Pot: $13.47




Hand #2
PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $0.05 BB (5 handed)
(Format: FlopTurnRiver Cards)

MP ($9.42)
Button ($8.51)
SB ($4.38)
Hero ($29.13)
UTG ($4.58)

Preflop: Hero is BB with UTG calls $0.05, MP calls $0.05, 1 fold, SB completes, Hero raises to $0.2, UTG calls $0.15, MP calls $0.15, SB calls $0.15.

Maybe raise .3?

Flop: ($0.80) (4 players)
SB checks, Hero bets $0.45, UTG calls $0.45, MP folds, SB calls $0.45.

Once again-too small of a bet? I was thinking about scarecards and not trying to commit myself on flop(due to a bas experience the hand before in similar situation) at the same time building the pot and being the agressor.

Turn: ($2.15) (3 players)
SB checks, Hero bets $0.85, UTG calls $0.85, SB calls $0.85.

Scary Turn. Now if I had a str8 draw with me- its either made or its a likely 2pair by now, both of those mean the villan will be willing to put some chips in the middle. Check opens me up to a possible huge bet that I won't call and bigger raise might provoke a shove incase of a made hand/fold incase he's still drawing or has naked ace.

River: ($4.70) (3 players)
SB checks,Hero?

Ok,can I go kill myself now? After a second of thinking- what called me on the flop? Flush draw,naked Ace, AK, and KQ/KJ. NowKQ and KJ would fold turn( I know I would) so Im worried about AK or flsh draw(AQ AJ calls me too but that Im not worried bout) And given the villand range(very lose with around 67% flp over 40 or so hands) I can't see AK/KK/AA from the passive way he played. So that's AT AQ AJ that will pay me off?
Rest in white
colorHero bets $2, UTG calls $2, SB calls $2.

Final Pot: $10.70Villan mucked AJ

In general, your bet sizes are way to small. Preflop make it 4BB+1 for each limper. On the flop and turn bet 3/4-pot. Shove Hand 1 on the river. In hand 2, bet half pot on the river.

Keep experimenting with betting and raise more until they stop calling you with worse hands. You'll be amazed. After a weak limper, it's pretty standard for me to jack it up to 5x or 6x. Also I will re-raise more than 3x the initial bet if the initial bet is small or I want to set-up a better SPR for the next street.
