Can't convert with hand converter, so here goes... I was in MP

*** HOLE CARDS ***
Dealt to RVladimiro [Qh] [Qs]
RVladimiro: raises $0.04 to $0.06
MP+1: calls $0.06
BB: calls $0.04

Everything was pretty standard here. I had no info on MP+1 but BB was pretty much a calling station getting in about every hand.

*** FLOP *** [Th] [7d] [8d]
BB: checks
RVladimiro: bets $0.09
MP+1: raises $0.09 to $0.18
BB: calls $0.18
RVladimiro: calls $0.09

I think here lies my mistake. I bet, I found resistance from the raise but I was full of myself with my overpair. I think this is the point where I should've folded. It should have crossed my mind that if MP+1 had a TPTK, he would call me, not raise me.

*** TURN *** [Th] [7d] [8d] [6h]
BB: bets $0.02
RVladimiro: calls $0.02
MP+1: raises $0.10 to $0.12
BB: calls $0.10
RVladimiro: calls $0.10

*** RIVER *** [Th] [7d] [8d] [6h] [2s]
BB: checks
RVladimiro: bets $0.44 and is all-in
MP+1: calls $0.44
BB: folds

By this time I had to pressure him, which I did. I think that this is not the mistake, the mistake was right after the first raise after the flop.

*** SHOW DOWN ***
RVladimiro: shows [Qh] [Qs] (a pair of Queens)
MP+1: shows [Td] [Ts] (three of a kind, Tens)
MP+1 collected $1.88 from pot

Opinions?

Personally i'd 3-bet flop and fold to the 4-bet that has us crushed. If he had a set or straight your 3-bet says you want to get it all in. So hopefully he'll shove all the combo's that beat us (apart from maybe JJ) and so we can make a safe laydown. Calling the min raise tells us little about his hand and he probably always going to c-bet the turn if checked to.

As played i'd probably fold the turn as MP+1 has taken a very strong line.

AT 2nl I like to raise more preflop. Like .08 - .12 because people love to call and see a flop. I raise what I think people will call.

On a flop like this Ill bet pot or close to it. If raised you have to decide if they will ever do it with a worse hand/draw and then make the decision to shove or fold.

Yep what brank said, raise to .08 as standard at 2nl, betting close to the pot or pot as our hand is good and we wanna give people the wrong price if theyre chasing draws, just got too attached to your hand i suppose, would of preferred a pot sized bet on the flop and then if he raises we can probably fold knowing we're beat
