First time giving this hand analysis a try... taking mental notes as I type...

Anyways, here is the info on the hand.
Bovada Cash table .05/.10 NL
Preflop:

UTG ($5.48)– call ($.10)

UTG+3 ($15.40) – call
Dealer ($3.16) – call
SB ($2.25) – call
BB/Hero ($11.04) :9h4::5h4: – check
Flop: :8c4::6d4::7c4:
SB –Checks
Hero – Checks
UTG – Checks
UTG +3 – Checks
Dealer – Bets $.40
Hero – Calls
UTG +3 – Calls
Everyone else folds
Turn: :8c4::6d4::7c4::ks4:
Hero – Checks
UTG +3 – Checks
Dealer – Bets $.40
Hero – Raises to $1.30
UTG +3 – Calls
Dealer – Folds
River: :8c4::6d4::7c4::ks4::jd4:
Hero – Bets $1.50
UTG +3 – Folds

Sorry for the rough hand history. First attempt at it... but more importantly, how would you have played this out? Similar? Different?

Would have raised the flop vs call. Your pricing in a lot of draws, which there are many that can beat you. You want to isolate to one player if possible, even taking down the pot right here isn't a bad thing. A lot of people try to win a big pot when they flop a strong hand, but winning the hand should be the primary goal. I'm all for extracting as much as possible in a hand, but you need to be aware of the risk involved with doing this. In this case, there is quite a bit of risk. Plenty of draws available and lots of people still in the hand.

Check/raise the flop to get money from draws, this is not the place to slowplay.

hmmmm that counts for 2 for a check/raise flop... How much we lookin to raise in that spot?? Would my 1.30 be appropriate at that time or a bit much? Turn bet about how much??

3-4x his bet, so 1.30 would be good. Turn is prob 1/2 pot, maybe a lil more.

I think you do OK! These hands are easy to play though. There was only one hand that could beat you. The real trick to poker is turning a losing hand, into a winning hand. These are the hands you truly earned! All in all, you did a great job.
