pocket 4's on the button... CO with two stop and go's

Was it right to raise and then cap the river after CO pulled two stop and go's? would you play this differently?

Fold preflop. Rest looks good.

I'd have folded pre-flop.

I like the flop and turn play. His stop and go may be top pair or overpair not wanting to give a free card.

I'm not sure on the river, but I think I like it. Against an average opponent the chances of seeing AA/KK or JJ/TT seem pretty close.

i'd fold this preflop too, at 2/4 and higher.

though for micro-limits, i'd have different advice.

Fold preflop, the rest looks fine, although getting threebet on the river at .50/1.00 with less than the nuts is scary.

Post hands at this limit in the microlimit forum.
