Raise preflop

Check raise the turn

everything else is fine.

You are probably right - this was my first time in a 10/20 room so i don't think I was aggressive enough. Although, no matter what I did, I was probably going down here.

[Mike Haven]

you should have screamed "why the hell did you raise p/f?" to get him to do it again

but he played an excellent turn

What do you do if(when) you get 3-bet, as you more than likely will?

With all of that dead post money you have to raise pre-flop. THat's free cash, take it!

I'm sure that's what WhyFold was thinking.

Full props to Whyfold, I think that's what he was thinking too.

Not neccessarily, as several people have pointed out, Whyfold was taking a shot at all the posters in the pot. If you had raised preflop he probably would have tossed his TJo. In that case, he would not have been in to catch the miracle flop and you take the pot. You need to raise in these spots, not only to try and take the free money, but also to protect your hand from limpers and posters.
