Whaat is happening here?
Limping pre and then raising the flop with only TPGK?

Well, we need to hear the explanation :
1. Why do you limp/call pre?
2. Why do you raise on flop?

Should I just have called the flop, i think his donk could be many worse hands, i didn't want to give free cards to a draw, after the river was a 7♠: i cant see many hands i can bluff catch vs

I limped because i was following the strategy they have for 9 man on here
I raised flop because i feel i have the best hand if mp2 calls or raise,s i can fold and put him on AK, but sb's bet of half the pot is pretty weak, any sets or two pair is likely to bet more 2/3's to full pot, i guess some weak top pairs and flush draws/straight draws, after the river completes a lot of them draws i think there is more that beat me

Can you put here the link pls to that strategy ?

You should raise OTF with very strong hands and some weak hands. Raising TPGK is often overplay and will lead to you raising too much and often getting crushed.
And I would like to see the strategy article too

You know, raising and then folding is not ok. Giving up all this equity and turning your hand into a bluff is expensive and not necessary.
Just call flop.

I misread the strategy it says limp behind limpers in mp with suited broadways, and fold if its folded to you.

My flop raise wasn't a bluff it was protection vs draws, on the turn I didn't want to build a big pot so I chose to checkback and bluff catch the river, however the river completed all draws, i think my hand was beat on the river, this isn't my standard line of play, i prefer a call on the flop and keep the pot small.

I could of been beat on the A high turn since i don't expect the nut flush draw to ever fold at NL2

Raising the flop with the idea to fold if re-raised is exactly turning your hand into a bluff. If you want to keep the pot small-just call.
