I've been playing 25PL at PP for the last few weeks, and have done quite well playing tight and selectively aggressive.
Now they switch to the 100BB so I went to the 50PL. I've found alot of success at the lower level playing
high pocket pairs aggressive...getting my whole stack in at some point in the hand. Generally the most I lose is $20-$30 with the smaller buy-ins.
This came up tonight. SB is semi-loose, and was calling pot sized bets with oesd.

First off I didnt raise more pf because I wanted some action. I play very tight and I was afraid a max raise wouldve had everyone fold around. I'm assuming this was mistake 1? Should I be happy just picking up whats in the pot?
Then I know mistake #2 is at the turn. My read was AQ on him, and that he reraised me because of that. In retrospect I should seen the trips.
The river call I had to make I think because of my read and the fact that it was the end of our stacks, and im pot committed? With my turn call I figured the rest of my stack was going in. With this train of thought (as wrong as it may be) should I have reraised the turn?
Thanks for any help you can provide.
