Default i think i found my major leak

how much should i be betting on the river here? i think i lose a lot of value by betting too small.

Full Tilt No-Limit Hold'em, $0.25 BB (6 handed) Hand History Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: 2+2 Forums)

CO ($18.90)
Hero ($19.55)
SB ($14.85)
BB ($24.40)
UTG ($16.85)
MP ($26.80)

Preflop: Hero is Button with Q[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], 9[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img].
<font color="#666666">2 folds</font>, CO calls $0.25, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises to $1</font>, <font color="#666666">2 folds</font>, CO calls $0.75.

Flop: ($2.35) A[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], 9[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], 2[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
<font color="#CC3333">CO bets $1</font>, Hero calls $1.

Turn: ($4.35) J[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
CO checks, Hero checks.

River: ($4.35) 8[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
CO checks, <font color="#CC3333">Hero bets $2</font>, CO calls $2.

Final Pot: $8.35

The whole line. The more you bet here the more often he folds. You have to size your bet so that he will call with his moderate hands instead of folding them. This is something that comes with practice and reads.

You did fine here. $4 may have folded him.

Whoa whoa whoa. I didn't see that you called the flop. That's pretty bad, but his bet is small and you have 2nd pair and a good kicker and you were the pfr. I read the HH as he checked flop and turn. Yeah, it's not so standard, but it's not a "major leak".

wait how is calling a less than half the pot bet with second pair when being the pf raiser in position bad?

and i was saying i think my leak is that i am not betting enough on the river on my made hands.

Without a read, I think calling the flop bet is a mistake. You raised preflop, were called, an A hit, and Villian leads. He has an Ace and we have no draw at this point. I don't mind a flop raise if we've seen Villian fold top pair/weak kicker hands when raised.

The rest of the hand looks good.

I think calling the flop bet may be a leak.

If villian is calling alot preflop then I'd raise preflop, raise the flop. If he calls my flop raise, check the turn and then bet 2.50 on the river when the flush hits. If no flush then check behind.
