I think your problem here is on the turn. On the flop, your call is okay, because you don't want to fold out the hands that you beat but the turn is either raise or fold. Calling only gives reverse implied odds on the river. I think you are probably beat on the turn and should fold to his 13 dollar bet. I wouldn't be surprised to see a 5 here as he called your raise from the BB he could def do it w/ like A5s as he is a 35/18 who has little respect for button raises.

I think your passivity in this hand has really put you at a disadvantage and you should have either raised the flop or the turn to force the opponent to define his hand a little bit

I would call the river. I think you played fine on all other streets.

especially against the blinds, i notice at micro-stakes that villain turns over trips the majority of the time. Any stats on villain? If he's super loose like almost all micro-nl players are, your pfr may not have folded out a wide range of hands like you had hoped... sigh deeply and throw ur hand away
