It's just one of those things I really really really hate raising with such small Pairs, not to mention if you know the table your on is one of those Calling/Aggro Aggressive tables, then it really makes raising even less profitable (Atleast I think so). Now I want your honest and brutal opionion. The end result really does'nt matter in this hand, and the hand did play itself out, but what I want to know is....Is this a good play to do overall or should I just try for value bets size type of raises.

Now don't get me wrong I got extremly lucky, but was my play a poor play? Also I would like to know was my bet sizing up untill then like weak as for the person to smell a monster lurking, or was it like weak to try to get a freebie type of card, how would you have bet the streaks?

I'm checking the turn. however you seem to know a bit more than me.
I can't be beat so I'm hoping someone slips up, and that both players are around for the river hoping they improve

Don't open limp - just a bad habit to get into. Turn bet sizing is beyond awful - bet at least $5. If you had bet $6 on the turn (basically pot), the pot on the river would have been like $18 or so, setting up a much better shove for villain's remaining $21.

Villain is going to be much more likely to call a $5-$6 bet on the turn and then a basically pot sized bet on the river rather than a massive overbet on the river, no matter what hand he is holding.

Superb table selection, imo.

On principles, i disagree with the preflop and turn bet sizes, but against such a fish, i guess open-limping is fine.
