My reasoning for not betting preflop is not worth explaining. It was a bad mistake. It wont happen again!

My thinking on the flop bet was that I didnt know where I was and a almost pot bet would clear that up, an attempt to correct my first mistake. I think a smaller bet would have had more callers and that would have mucked things up more.

His calling me made me think he was on a draw or middle pair. I thought a player with a stronger hand would have raised preflop from the button.

The 200 bet on the turn was to stop it right there. If he was on a draw or had middle pair he could not call.

The all in push threw me for a loop. No raise preflop again came to mind and if he had a pair he would have raised prefop. Q 7 or J7 would have reraised on the flop, No? it had to be 2 pair. 7 6 was my guess.

I folded. With only the river to come I opted for a better spot.

He lost money pushing. I would have checked and called a reasonable bet.

Thanks for the replies you have helped put my mind at ease.
