Preflop: Hero is SB with 9[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], J[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]. MP posts a blind of $0.50. Hero posts a blind of $0.25.
UTG calls $0.50, MP (poster) checks, Button calls $0.50, Hero (poster) completes, BB checks.

Flop: if you think your hand is best, make a real re-raise. Make it at least $10. If he 4-bets you at this point, you've got to decide whether your two pair is still good - i'm guessing not by taking the action at face value.

AJ?

Also, he seems scared on the river - if you really feel this way, why not check raise and push - would 33 fold here?

Looks to me like he could have AJ as well as a possibility

Make a real raise on the flop. Stop mini-raising, there are no reasons to do it.

i like making it 10-15 on the flop, this will make decisions a ton easier. if he calls i probably get it in on the turn. if he 4 bets the flop i need to make a decision, but ill have better info to do it now...
