Villain is 29/9/1.25 over 34 hands and seems to be a semi-decent player at least.

1 fold, MP calls $0.25, 1 fold, Button calls $0.25, SB (poster) completes, Hero checks.
Often I would raise to $2 here, but I had been running over the game with lot's of PF raises so I decided to check here since I was OOP and there is a high likelyhood of an overcard on the flop. First mistake?

Flop: ($1) 5[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], J[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], T[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] (4 players)
SB checks, Hero bets $1, MP calls $1, Button calls $1, SB calls $1.
Standard?

Turn: ($5) 7[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] (4 players)
SB checks, Hero bets $4, MP calls $4, Button calls $36.79 (All-In), SB folds, Hero calls $21.40 (All-In), MP folds.
The only hand I am behind to is 98, which unfortunately is a possible holding for villain since I did not raise PF, but surely this is an insta-call taking into account that villain could have slowplayed a set of 5s on the flop or could have turned a set of 7s. Villain could even be doing this with two pair. Even if villain does have 98 then I still have 22.5% equity. Is this why I should have raised PF?
