Re: Im just getting started, did i play this hand correctly?
I don't think you played this badly. The flop raise is fine in a passive game, I think. You may or may not be best here, but you probably have good equity. In my experience, even in passive games (especially live), many players will raise an AJ/AQ/AK preflop, but will limp with pairs, even as high as TT.
I've played plenty of hands like this and have been shown hands like 77, but this is more likely a busted straight. I've also been shown a hand like T8 (again, in passive games) enough times to be worried about betting that river for value. I'm not worried about the K.
Also: Don't give the results of the hand in your original post; it influences the way we think about the action. Welcome to the forum.
