I was wondering if I just should have pushed, after the reraise, and what to do on the turn?

I raise the flop a lot more. When it gets to you the first time, there is 0.90 in the pot, with .1 to you, I am raising PSB at least here, likely more because of the number of opponents. But that first raise should be >$1 that $0.40 sucks. As played, when MP raises you back, the pot is large enough to push right there. The pot is 3.40, your call makes it 3.80 so a PSB is 4.20, which is more than half your remaining stack so push on the flop.

you played it fine... you're gonna be getting it all in on any turn anyways... so imo your flop play is fine... sucks that you lost to a FD or J7 but thats variance for you

edit: i didnt see your weak flop raise.. at least .70 here and if he minraises your .70, jam the flop

What a wussy raise on the flop. You have the nuts and lots of villains, RAISE BIG FOR CHRIST SAKE!! Raise to 1. As played, raise them AI the second time, the money is going in on the turn anyway when they have so little behind.

I see you're new here, and to guide you in the right direction: start raising and betting bigger, 1/2-pot raises and 1/5-pot bets won't get you anywhere. Make it at least 2/3-pot, preferably 3/4-pot to full pot. By betting little you're giving your opponents extremely good odds to outdraw and stack you and you're not getting as much money in the pot as you could, which is exactly what you want with the nutzers.
