Final Pot: 9 BB

My main concern was my flop play, I'm thinking I should fold when it is raised back to me. I am in poor position and I only have TPMK against potential straights, TPTK or overcards.

Once the T came on the turn I was beat by a 7 and a 9 with a better kicker so I definately should have folded. I wasnt paying much attention so I was in calling station mode.

I think folding on the turn would be wrong. You have an OESD and no reason to necessarily believe you are beat. Besides, if a Q falls you beat that seven you are worried about. Don't be too quick to put your opponents on hands that beat you--he/she could easily be raising overcards.

The only reason to get yourself out of this pot is because it is small.

I think you played it fine.

The only thing you should change in this hand is to river the Q /images/graemlins/spade.gif. You really need to work on your river cards /images/graemlins/tongue.gif.
