    Default OOP with KQ. How should i play this better?

    $0.01/$0.02 No Limit Holdem

    7 Players
    Hand Conversion Powered by weaktight.com

    Stacks:
    UTG c_monsterAA ($0.99)
    UTG+1 Hero ($4.45)
    MP bigskill ($2.77)
    CO chip leader 180 ($1.24)
    BTN sivash67 ($2.06)
    SB aellbert ($0.62)
    BB NittyNit ($1.96)

    I could prolly limp this or just dump it from this early but i hadn't played in a while and I've got a hardon for KQ suited fuck knows why.

    MP2 is quite good not shown down much. since this hand i did see him over play 99 and waste most of his stack, but up until that all his showdowns were good and he'd won alot of hands without.I cant remember exactly but his stats were something like 15/8/50. I didn't like having him sat to my right thats for sure (i sat down before him). I think he would reraise AK AA KK but smooth call a bunch that has me beat AQ any pp, some suited connectors 78+
    Should I just give up right here without hitting a big hand/big draw?

    Pre-Flop: ($0.03, 7 players) Hero is UTG+1
    c_monsterAA calls $0.02, Hero raises to $0.10, bigskill calls $0.10, 3 folds, NittyNit calls $0.08, c_monsterAA folds

    Flop: ($0.33, 3 players)
    NittyNit checks, Hero bets $0.24, bigskill calls $0.24, NittyNit folds


    So I'm beat I knew it anyway. i thought he would flat any pp/set on this flop maybe dump AQ though

    Turn: ($0.81, 2 players)
    Hero bets $0.40, bigskill raises to $1.02, Hero folds

    My bet is pathetic, do you think i invited the reraise by betting so small. I wanted to keep in hands that i now beat without committing myself.
    I definitely played it wrong. I hate the fold, I hate the crappy bet. I hate that i learned nothing about this guys hand at any point.
    I think anyway of playing this hand is better than this but what would be best?

    Final Pot: $2.23

    bigskill wins $2.13 (net +$0.77)

    NittyNit lost $0.10
    c_monsterAA lost $0.02
    Hero lost $0.74

    Pre flop is good.

    Flop cbet is ok though I think you can bet slightly smaller to give yourself a better price on your bluff. Figure out how often they have to fold for it to be profitable then look at their folding range on this flop.

    Turn you can bet bigger ($0.70) to get value from 77, 6x, 99, TT, JJ. When he raises the turn he usually has an 8 or better so fold.

    boring. I dragged this hand to my desktop straight away cos i thought i'd fucked it up so badly.I thought you guys would tear me a new one and teach me how to play. Happy to hear you say i was beat when he reraises cos i thought i had invited him to bluff me cos i look so fucking scared.
    thanks.

    don't cbet flop 4way vs unknowns @ 2nl imo. if u insist, then c-bet smaller.

    turn bet bigger and folding to raise is fine

    the hand looks well played really. bet a little bigger on the turn like others said, but the disciplined turn fold was real good.

    feelin' allright
    I bit smaller on the flop, around $0.18 to $0.21, but hit the turn at around $0.65 to $0.75 and def fold to any re-raise. If he flat calls the turn bet then I wouldn't fire a third at him.
