Remember this: Limping first in is (almost) never good, just raise or fold.it makes you look weak.

I'd fold this hand preflop because of position and stack.You have 22bb and you are utg, if you raise to 2,5 you have 19,5bb left in your stack which means you can't do many moves.

As played, yes bet the flop

Half pot should be good,but it's more of bluffing then defining your hand.

Hey Adam!

As Backcushion said correctly. Don't openlimp in those spots!
Its really bad. You need to fold to any action and you lose 1bb and you don't have the initiative!

I would just fold here pre and openraise for example a9s+ a10o+
On a tight table I think minraising pre can be fine with a7s as well!

As played!
Bet flop (easy bet here to take down the pot)
Bet the turn bigger 50-55% pot, you get value here!

But anyway fold or minraise pre next time!

Greets,
Tiltberger
