1. Always sit with the maximum $5. If you don't understand why, I'll send you some links.

2. I'd raise preflop, to build a pot and gain innitiative along with position. The limp is alright though, especially at these stakes.

3. Flop is fine. I raise full pot to $.17 but this is a marginal differnce.

4. After two people calls it is very likely that someone has a flush. However, you have 10 outs for the board pairing, and a lot of money behind. You are getting more than 3 to 1 already, and youre probably stacking someone if the board pairs. Your turn call is fine.

5. River is a std fold of course.

Played fine postflop. You have outs for the full house on the turn, and a lot of implied odds.

I raise preflop though, but with two limpers ahead of you a limp is not too bad.

call is fine on turn, look for board to pair. At these blinds I think you're preflop play is good, because its easy to get payed out even when u dont raise preflop.
