Omfginstafoldaments preflop.

Flop and turn are fine, should prob valuebet 120 on river.

Fold pre flop - WOW!!!!

Otherwise I would have bet 120 on the flop, check the turn and bet the river with something (need a read on the guy).

You are tempted by the pots odd here and making the call PF from the BB with a weak hand. Don't be. Fold.

Calling isn't horrible pf, just don't get crazy with it.

[eurythmech]

uh, it is

Fold pf, I like flop, as played vbet turn planning to check behind non 9/J non flush river, as played vbet river.

Calling light from the bb in lvl 1/2 to a min raiser is not standard, but it's not horrible. There is nothing wrong with folding and for someone learning that's the best option.

Honestly it's an old argument and I'm not going to rehash it here, but it's definitely not horrible to a btn min raiser and sb caller.

Calling PF is fine.

Imagine you only continued to play the hand postflop if you hit 2-pair or better, this happens ~6.7% of the time. All you would need to make the preflop call breakeven is an expectation of ~200 extra chips when you hit one of these hands. If you don't suck you will also have equity from pairs.

I flat call flop instead of betting into the PF raiser and play it from there.
