raise more preflop. like to $0.7-$1

check the flop or bet bigger ($1.2 or more). 2 players behind means someone prob hit a hand, plus no draw is going to fold to such a small bet.

as played on the flop, i prefer checking the turn for pot control. river is marginal push because u made it more difficult by poorer early street decisions.

I would raise pf a little more, I dont cbet this flop OOP 3 handed, if you are goin to cbet it id make it closer to pot your cbet seems almost pointless. Turn bet more, boards somewhat drawy and 1/2 pot bet is pretty bad IMO im probably bettin like $3 here. On river theres a couple missed draws and i think we are very likely ahead, kinda weird spot cause neither villian seemed scared that the A
hit so either could have better than 1pair or hit the A on the turn. On river im goin back and forth from a push to a c/c. C/C lets him possible bluff off weaker hands/ bluff missed draws but also could alow him to get away cheap. A push could make him fold weaker hands and missed draws. Not real sure about river, but IMO your bettin sizes look too small

Thanks for the advice. It seems that my betting sizes are one of the big problems that I have.
