If you're more specific you'll get a more detailed answer. If you just want the 'pw', maybe post in other threads instead of starting new ones (just sayin'...)

Not a problem. But you have to remember that all things in poker are situational. Whenever you ask a general question you will get "it depends" as an answer because there are so many variables involved in each situation that it is impossible to give an answer that will be proper for everything.
Maybe asking: How do I play a small pp in early position in a $1 sng on the bubble where I have 11bb and the rest of the players have 8-25bb. The Chip leader is next to act and the short stack is on the button.
Now asking a question like that will get you a more specific answer that will be more helpful to you next time you find yourself in that situation.
Keep it up though, asking questions like this is how you'll learn. Just remember that the more info you include in the question, the better an answer we will be able to give you.

so basicly i had A6 suited i think after big blind. i knew the dood at the button had two over cards. and i flopped a 6 on the flop where all the cards are low. i knew i had hiim beat. so i check raised him. but he still called me and caught a K. iono just wondering how to play this hand. and what i did wrong.

It always depends.
Ax suited is only playable in certain situations. Against beginners who will pay you off if you hit a flush, basically, or on the button when everyone else has folded you can raise 3x and either steal the blinds or play a hand in position.
But you're not looking to pair the six or even the Ace, you're looking for the flush or an odd two pair on the flop, or to continuation bet the flop and take it down if you raised preflop.
In this specific case, if you're sure your opponent is doing this with over cards you're fine. Put this into PokerStove and you're an 80/20 favorite so you've got nothing to worry about at that point. One of those 20% of times happened.
But generally don't be playing Ax suited unless it's a multiway limped pot preflop and you have position, or, you raise in position. It'll cost you more than it earns.

Probe bet? IDK tough hand Tp2k it's good to bet but with 4 callers says "overpair" on one trying to trap. Last time I had similar hand had K4 paired 4's on flop (middle pair) with one caller, bet flop, called, turn dead card bet, call, K on river bet big call, lost to set of 4's. These low pair hands are most expensive in cash games, tourny is little different. Still think it's a real problem hand, and T or better on turn or river and you are WB (with exception of K, but you saw my problem). You are way OP anyways, let it go.

I think you played it good, if you really had a solid read that he had 2 overs, you just got unlucky that he caught a K. That's poker.
lol this situation RARELY happens but...I would bet really small (maybe like 1.5-2BB) maybe even just min-bet because there is no way someone is going to put you on a 9 so they will most likely chase with any two cards thinking if they hit a pair it's the nuts, or they might think their high card is good. Also if someone has a PP (unlikely in a limped pot) they will most likely think their hand is good and raise.
