[One Outer]

I have this one hand, for starters, but I also have concerns. I feel like I might not be using the forum optimally. I think I'm going about it the right way but if I were would I be feeling more confused than ever? I feel like I don't have any idea why I'm doing anything at the table anymore. Posting my thoughts on hands and having 6 people tell me I couldn't be more wrong is disconcerting, especially when I can't see their point. I don't have a problem with the criticism, I just feel bad about myself when not only was I wrong but I can't even see how I was wrong. Maybe I should stop playing until I'm not so confused.

This hand is a great example. I look at it, and at the time I played it, I didn't know what to do on the flop or river. It's probably ok, but I don't know that and it scares me that I can't figure it out for myself. Either way, here it is.

BB is pretty donktastic. I don't think he would bet the flop with less than a 7 but he consistely gets married to a flopped top pair no matter how bad the board comes. He plays tons of hands. MP, as far as I can tell, is pretty typical loose passive. I haven't seen him raise preflop and he's called down very light twice that I have witnessed.
