    was it right to have layed in down at the river? (scared of the flush and straight)
    should i have raised harder on the turn? or even preflop?

    any feedback is welcome, critism too if you will, gotta make mistakes to learn but hopefully not too many eh

    You have to raise the turn hard. Like to $2. Everything else is fine, river fold is good.
