2 limpers
Hero raises to .20 (helps to build the pot a lot in these loose-passive tables I think).
LP raises to .30
2 calls
Hero calls

Flop: ($1.80) 5/images/graemlins/club.gif6/images/graemlins/heart.gif3/images/graemlins/diamond.gif
MP1 leads for .60
Hero calls
LP calls

Turn ($3.50) 7/images/graemlins/club.gif
EP checks
Hero checks
LP checks

River: (3.50) 6/images/graemlins/club.gif
EP bets .60
Hero calls
LP folds

Thoughts?

Flop:
Should I raise here?

Turn:
With the gutshot and the overpair, a call seemed reasonable here

River:
This card is pretty awful. It completes the club draw, and also pairs up the previous 'top pair'. The bet size was so small though, that I pretty much had to call.

Any better lines? Flop especially?

Minraise preflop is bad. After the two limpers I would rather limp with 99, esp from MP. Look for a set. If you're going to raise, make a real raise so that you can isolate and hopefully buy the button. Something like $0.60 would be good PF.

Edit: After looking at your AA hand it looks like you're varying your PF raise size based on the strength of your hand. Don't do this. It makes you super easy to read.
