id bet more on the flop, near potsize. turns good. then id push all in on the river.
this is a draw heavy board so you have to be making them pay.

Don't post the bb OOP. It's very weak. I know that it's nl2 and these guys don't understand much, but you're adding dead money to the pot with a random hand. Just wait for the bb. If I see someone do that, I automatically assume them to be a bad player.

As for the hand, bet much bigger on the flop, like $0.2. I think you paid off by much worse here so I probably go broke too, but shove the river.

i liked how you play that hand, but i would of played the hand differently, because of the possible flush draw on the flop, i would bet a little over the pot, and if called i would be worried about him drawing on me, so then on the turn since there was no diamond i would of pushed hard.
