Pre Flop: ($0.03) Hero has 8♠ 4♦

fold, fold, fold, fold, LP calls $0.02, CO calls $0.02, BTN calls $0.02, SB calls $0.01, Hero checks

Flop: ($0.10, 5 players) 4♠ 2♣ 4♥
SB bets $0.02, Hero raises to $0.04, fold, CO calls $0.04, fold, SB calls $0.02

Turn: ($0.22, 3 players) Q♣
SB checks, Hero bets $0.04, CO raises to $0.08, fold, Hero raises to $0.12, CO raises to $0.16, Hero calls $0.04

River: ($0.54, 2 players) A♦
Hero bets $0.04, CO raises to $0.08, Hero calls $0.04

No mistakes on flop, I guess.

Turn... after the raise he could either have a Q2 (very unlikely) or a flush draw with Xc2c (unlikely but possible); he could also be slowplaying any X4, so I reraised for information. After the villain's cap I figured he either got Q4 (unlikely) or a X4.

River: not that terrible of a bet, I suppose, since I figured he could be just a pusher and tried to keep the iniciative. Still, I guess I should have been more conservative since a turn raise/cap rarely means bluffing (except for flush draws; I've seen quite a few of that happen).

( Thanks in advance to tsunami and everybody else's replies; I wish I could be more helpful with other people's hands but I'm very unsure on giving advices to anyone right now, so... :/ )

Q2 or any 2x, Qx, Ax

btw. you shouldn't bet when you just called his cap check and call if you are so uncertain that you just call his raise anyway. better to save a bet if you are behind.

(try and give advice to other hands. It doesn't matter if its "bad" or good. as long as you try you will get better at it ;) )

PS: oh and btw. I dont see where the slowplaying your headline indicates Is ?

Hi!

In such a small dry pot flop could easily get slowplayed.Good thing about just calling is that a ton of hands that are almost drawing dead(2 overcards) will most likely call 1 bet while if you raise many of these will fold...so my preffered option would be to call and raise turn...fastplaying however is not really a mistake and has its own advantages

Turn I like the 3bet...Qx,FD should be more likely than better 4x and even if you are behind there are still at least split outs.

River I dont like donking.Once he caps turn I dont really see a hand that he would not also bet on the river...therefore I decide between c/r and c/c. In this case c/c seems very obvious as most of his hands that make sense to cap turn have you beat and you basically call in hope of a split or him being irrational.
