Too Agressive with Low pair?

Little history about previous play. No real reads on villain, haven't seen him get out of line. I have been playing like a weak tight nit, playing 3 hands total 20-25 minute into the tournament and have folded all to flop bets in multi-way pots. I figured because of my rock type image, entering a put would give me credibility for holding a strong hand.

Good bad? horrible? results to come

I don't like this at all, raising 4bb from EP with 44? The flop play also seems really bad. Sorry, I think this line is pretty awful.

[Sciolist]

Firstly, I fold preflop. Your position isn't good enough to raise with here, though I'd be considering it from button/CO/CO+1.

Secondly, I fold the flop. A reraise beats a bluff, and what evidence do you have that he's on a bluff? It seems to me that you're throwing your chips away here, without some kind of ninja read.

Is an open-limp out of the question?

Limping is fine with these stacks.

Limp here only if your opponents suck, and you expect limpers behind, and you're pretty sure noone will raise and you can play a multiway pot for set value. If your opponents don't suck that bad then openlimping with this hand is asking for trouble.

Given your "rock type image" do you really think villian is bluffing? If he's not bluffing, you've got to think he'll put you on a big pocket pair and be willing to fold something like top pair good kicker. I wouldn't want to depend upon villian to make such a laydown when all my chips are on the line.

I don't like an open limp here so if I choose to enter the pot (and sometimes I would just fold) I'm coming in for t150. If somebody had already limped I would limp behind. I fold to the flop bet.
