I have played a good bit at 2/4, but still seem to be timid in making value bets... Im not quite comfortable with the stakes yet, besides the obvious missing river value bet, is there anything else I needed to do differently here?

These two guys were the aggressive donks of the table, so I put UTG on either ace X diamond or a slowplayed ten, and MP on a pair anywhere from 77-AA... Once they call up the turn I am pretty sure I am ahead, but think that one of them has diamonds and wont call a river bet, and one may be slowplaying a ten, or finally slowed down with AA or KK

If you are raising the turn, why are you not betting the river?

I think an aggro donk plays PP's lower than yours just like this. You have to have to have to bet the river.\

Edit: I am a little worried about the back to back CC's by UTG. I think he's just as likely to have a flush draw as a ten though.

Good idea, for psychological reasons if nothing else.
