50NL Can I get away from Top 2 ????

Ok so heres my question.

could I get away from this hand?
Here's what I thought.

Preflop: I'm in the BB and OOP against the raiser and the caller, that's why I just flat called.

Flop: I think I'm ahead and wanted to checkraise if one of the two remaining players in the pot would make a c-bet.

Turn: It got checked around so I bet a bit more than half the pot, get raised and called. I'm wondering whether I should give up the hand at this place (maybe Im up against a set or AJ but I called.

River: I know my bet is way too small but I was hoping to get raised by a weaker hand because my bet looked so weak.

This is a reason to re-raise, not call.

C/R flop is pretty bad.

LOL at river bet.

the largest mistake you made was calling the turn. i think your decision should have been either fold or push, but my vote is folding. what are you hoping for on the river? the raiser will most likely bet again, and if you don't improve with one of the last 2 aces or kings you are certainly beat.

3bet it please. Flop plan should be c/c. River is just laughable.

The river call is correct IMO since there are alot of 2 pair hands that he might have that more than make up for all the trips he could have and the slight straight possibilities.

The rest of the hand could use some work though as others have said.

Raising this hand PF makes it soooo much easier to play instead of playing such a guessing game on the later streets...
