$5: Blind vs Blind, turned two pair... opponent min betting.

[Dr. Moreau]

What does the opponent have? This is the third hand of the tournament, I am pretty confident I am ahead with 2 pair.

I raise his min-bets, only to have him call them. Am I playing this hand right with two pair?

what is he calling your river raise with do you think? other than a T or a better A?

Raise more on turn. Don't raise flop, probably a call though.

Agree with call on river instead of raising.

Hey futuredoc, i dont know if you ever played the 5$, but the time i played those...these bets represent NADDA...or a weak holding, so i am perfectly ok with the line hero took, i would have even raised more, cause these donks keep calling you. Probably i shove the turn.
It may sound stupid, but the riverraise is clearly for value...
Even if Hero lost this pot, he wins most of the time a huge pot, so i would say his play was good with the small connotation "only at 5$"...

Flop: why are you raising here? Take the great odds your opponent is giving you and don't open yourself up to a reraise where you'll have to fold and not catch your card.

Turn: You caught your card and make a good raise. Well, I would have raised a bit more.

River: Why raise here? Your hand just turned to top pair no kicker. You *might* get a call from a worse hand, but it's not likely after you've raised him twice. Plus, if he does have a T, you just donked off more chips.

I really don't know what he has. Could be a weirdly played AK hand.
