My thoughts:

Prelflop, I don't think my hand is strong enough to raise here.

On the flop: I like my potential to scoop or 3/4, so I just call as to not call any attention to myself.

On the Turn: Going for over-calls by just calling the first $5, when I had to call all-in I was getting
57.5/18.75 or about 3/1 on my call, and I expected L1 to call.

Thoughts on all rounds greatly appreciated,

results to come
