fold preflop twice

Yes, fold preflop, fold turn. You're in middle position, and limping with gapped sooted connectors that is THAT low is bad, it's even WORSE to call a PFR! The turn, I guess you call hoping for a flush? well now that you have it, you're gonna have to bet/call. Usually I wouldn't play such low flush cards.

If you play Nl25 what the hell are you doing taking a shot at NL100 (in reference to a post earlier today)? You seem to be kind of all over the place, calling down with 44, playing suited gappers for 6xBB out of position. I think you need to maybe settle down and work on the basics at Nl25 because from the posts i've read you seem to be trying to do too much. Best of Luck.

no, but in all seriousness, if you're going to call that raise after you limp, you might as well raise it yourself. most 2p2ers will tell you to just fold this, and that works too, but limp-calling is ugly.

i don't mind the turn play because of implied odds, and the river looks fine to me too given stack sizes; you can't afford him pushing over the top a raise by you on the river with such big stacks.
