Default Re: 77 in 2/4 NL, how was my play, particularly the turn?

I understand what you are saying here, but I'm not sure if you got my reads of the table (I wasn't very clear). Any substantial bet on pretty much every board made everyone fold pretty much every time for the past hour. The few times they didn't fold, I showed down winners, usually monsters.

I can see the idea of not leading the flop, but it seems like a problem to give a so many possible draws that beat me a free card.

I'd also confused about how the $12 bet does nothing. It's so weak that it looks like it is begging for a call. I've been betting all my solid hands big for the past hour. A $50 bet at this point is an insta-fold at this table. The small size of the river bet does exactly what I thought it would... encourage a raise from the villain and then he'd call mt re-raise.

The advice I see here makes some sense in general to me, but this was pretty strongly read-influenced.
