Hi godfather2007

Preflop: why are you posting the blind out of position here?

Postflop: You should bet the flop for value and protection. No need to check and keep a small pot small. You want to build this pot and get as much money in there as possible.

As played turn/river are fine but the mistakes are preflop and flop.

Pre-flop: When you enter the table you should wait for the big blind to come to you. Don't just post it as you seat, in this case you only had to wait one more hand.

Flop: Indeed you have to bet for value + protection with the nuts here.

lkdr explained it well.

It looks like you posted your blind when you joined the table rather than waiting for the BB to come around to you.

This practice is generally not recommended as it puts you at a disadvantage and gets you to lose an extra BB (or more)>
