First time posting a hand here! I think that I really messed up this hand, so let's hear what you think about the hand and my thought process :)
I only have two hands vs. villain, so no meaningful stats.

Poker Stars, $0.01/$0.02 No Limit Hold'em Cash, 6 Players
Poker Tools Powered By Holdem Manager - The Ultimate Poker Software Suite.

BTN: $2.05 (102.5 bb)
SB: $3.10 (155 bb)
BB: $2.04 (102 bb)
UTG: $2.20 (110 bb)
MP: $2.09 (104.5 bb)
Hero (CO): $2.40 (120 bb)

Preflop: Hero is CO with A 4
2 folds, Hero raises to $0.05, BTN folds, SB calls $0.04, BB folds

Flop: ($0.12) T A 4 (2 players)
SB bets $0.06, Hero raises to $0.15, SB raises to $0.24, Hero calls $0.09

Turn: ($0.60) K (2 players)
SB bets $0.06, Hero calls $0.06

River: ($0.72) Q (2 players)
SB bets $0.78, Hero folds

Results:

Spoiler

$0.72 pot ($0.03 rake)
Final Board: T A 4 K Q
SB mucked and won $0.69 ($0.34 net)
Hero mucked A 4 and lost (-$0.35 net)

Here are my thoughts:
I guess his preflop range would be something like suited connectors, broadways, Ax, and small-medium pocket pairs, so on the flop I'm beating flush draws, gutshot straight draws, T9+ and top pairs. But I loose vs. TT, 44, and AT. My raise should also have been bigger, but I don't think I should 4-bet because I don't see how I would get called by worse.

On the turn, when he bets so small, I think I should have raised to get payed by draws, and fold if he 3-bets big, but at the time I decided to just call for pot-control.

I think it's fine to fold on the river, because I pretty much only beat missed flush draws and TPWK, which I think is pretty unlikely at this point.

Hi MisterAnand,

Welcome to the forums.

Preflop: looks fine

Postflop: I agree that as played you could have raised the turn but generally speaking you can actually 3-bet the flop too. You have 2p on a wet board with many bad turn/river cards.

So ideally you want the money in faster.

As a side note, when you leave a reply, don't forget to hit the advise judge to take another look button.
