25NL: A4o in the bb

[Bowlboy]

I think I played this hand badly. Villain is 67/6/3 over 80 hands. I know this is just a little pot here but I definitely feel that playing these situations better out of position would help my winrate. How to get more value when ahead and lose less when behind in hands like this?
