Start with the standard 4xbb + 1bb per limper for preflop raises...somewhere in the FAQ talks about why.

I only make this C-bet into 2 if they are good folders, but if you bet it, the c-bet has got to be bigger...i go with at least 3/4 pot...you are selling them on the fact that you have a hand...it's money well invested.

The way you played, if you believe nobody has an A, you gotta bet more on the turn...making draws pay is fun. Plan on checking the river unless you improve..

By the river, as played, I'm saying. cripes, that was alot i put in with second pair, I've milked all the value i care for out of this. See the showdown, see what bb has...Now you have a read. Prolly 'calls down w/weak aces'

Raise more preflop, bet more flop, either bet more on the turn or check through and call reasonable river bet.

.4 PF
.75 or 1 PSB flop
.66 PSB turn
good check behind on river; no value in raising.
