Default 25NL - A4 from SB

I realized I'm not posting enough hands to analyze my play. I feel like I play too weak-tight. So, here we go. As always, comments appreciated.

This was the second hand at the table I played. No reads other than the table was $5/42% when I sat down.

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $0.25 BB (5 handed) Hand History Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: 2+2 Forums)

Button ($41.60)
Hero ($19.75)
BB ($25)
UTG ($50.35)
MP ($11.40)

Preflop: Hero is SB with A[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], 4[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img].
<font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, MP calls $0.25, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, Hero completes, BB checks.

Flop: ($0.75) A[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], J[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], 6[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(3 players)</font>
<font color="#CC3333">Hero bets $0.75</font>, <font color="#CC3333">BB raises to $1.5</font>, MP folds, Hero calls $0.75.

Turn: ($3.75) 6[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
Hero checks, <font color="#CC3333">BB bets $0.5</font>, Hero calls $0.50.

River: ($4.75) 6[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
Hero checks, <font color="#CC3333">BB bets $3.5</font>, Hero calls $3.50.

Final Pot: $11.75

This one seems more player dependent and its tough without reads. Since we don't know why he's doing the flop RR. Could be with a flush draw or 2pr. He then bets even smaller on the turn, which could either be A6 or a small bet so he can see the river for cheap. Hands you don't beat are a limped AJ-AK and A6/J6. You tie with any other A-x. With the information given, I'd go ahead and call and hope he was bluffing because you checked the river.

I think the flop is a c/fold. You're betting a weak A into 2 players. I'd rather check and see what happens. If it gets checked through, my opponents will most likely bet a wider range on the turn and bring value to my A. He could be raising with a FD, but most likely he's raising a bigger A here I think.

Looks fine. I would c/c flop most of the time with no kicker. Can't really fold to minraise IMO, any hearts or Jack or low pair will do this on flop. With no PFR I suspect you have best hand though you do have to fold most turns. Except he bet .50 which makes no sense, so call there obv.

River I would lead and call raise just to donate rake.

This looks fine to me. I'm never folding to the min-raise on a 2 flush flop and the turn and river are easy calls.
A line I like better though would be to raise pre with the suited ace against a limper then c-bet the flop. With being new to the table, I will often take your line though.

Fold to the flop raise. Cuz all you can do is check the turn, then what? Call a biggish bet? Fold when the heart hits. He checks behind and gets to see two cards if he is on the draw? OOP sux with weak hands.
