I just want to know what you think about all streets..

maybe I'm assuming too little of these people..but from what I have seen so far, the players are not far from the avergae party $11 player

IMO, raise it preflop. You are OOP, with a hand that is not likely to win against two limpers. That is, what sorts of cards are these limpers likely to hold? A: medium-ish cards (nine through king, and small pocket pairs). You are likely to face hands that dominate you. A preflop raise helps you define your hand and gains you fold equity. I think the hand becomes easier to navigate from there.

I'm checking preflop (definitely not raising), betting the same postflop. Ghostrida smoothcalls the flop, min bets the turn after I check, which could mean several things. I like to find out early if I can. I'd have reraised at this point and known I was beat if he called/raised. However, on the turn, I'd have led out again after the blank hit, and folded to a reraise.

With the way you played it, it's tough to know where you are. If I had to guess, he had the goods, and you're beat in this hand.

I don't think you can fold the turn getting such good odds. I think I fold to the river bet.
Dr Modern - don't raise this pf. One your hand is slightly above-average, two your OOP which is a very good reason for not building a big pot. Second 11s players love a good old limp-call, leaving you up [censored]-creak without a paddle when you dont flop top pair (75% of the time possibly more)
