Party Poker 0.5/1 Hold'em (9 handed) UTG+1 is LPP

Preflop: Hero is Button with A/images/graemlins/spade.gif, A/images/graemlins/club.gif. UTG+1 posts a blind of $0.5.
UTG calls, UTG+1 (poster) checks, MP1 folds, MP2 calls, MP3 folds, CO folds, <font color="CC3333">Hero raises</font>, SB calls, BB folds, UTG calls, UTG+1 calls, MP2 calls.

Flop: (11 SB) K/images/graemlins/club.gif, 7/images/graemlins/heart.gif, 3/images/graemlins/spade.gif <font color="blue">(5 players)</font>
SB checks, UTG checks, UTG+1 checks, MP2 checks, <font color="CC3333">Hero bets</font>, SB calls, UTG folds, UTG+1 calls, MP2 calls.

Turn: (7.50 BB) 9/images/graemlins/club.gif <font color="blue">(4 players)</font>
SB checks, UTG+1 checks, MP2 checks, <font color="CC3333">Hero bets</font>, SB folds, <font color="CC3333">UTG+1 raises</font>, MP2 folds, Hero calls.

River: (11.50 BB) 5/images/graemlins/heart.gif <font color="blue">(2 players)</font>
<font color="CC3333">UTG+1 bets</font>, Hero calls.

I assumed i was almost certainly beat when raised on the turn - as I had bet at every opportunity. Should i have folded, based on my read from only 20 hands?

How does this look? I felt that I was, perhaps, over chasing - but think I always had the odds.

I think hand one is fine.

Hand two you should fold preflop.

Hand 1: 3-bet the turn
Hand 2: Muck pre-flop

I concur. Welcome to the forums.

Thanks for this.
In hand 1 are you suggesting 3-betting and folding to a cap? I assumed he hit two pair, leaving me 2 outs - but decided to call down instead of raising for info. I think he would have called my 3 bet with 2 pair and that would have cost me 1 more BB by the calldown. Do weak 50/1 players cap the turn often enough for this tactic to work?

As for hand 2, this was my loosest preflop call of the day - and i am embarraced to have posted it. How is my play after the flop?

Cheers
