I have been struggling with the micros, so many of these hands I am going to post are probably going to be no brainers. My PT database says I am losing money with one pair hands, so I am thinking I am either calling too much with them, or betting too much to where I am close to all-in by the turn/river. This one is TPTK, and my read was villain would raise with a set/big hand. On the turn, I bet the pot, but that also put him all in...would a different amount been better? What is the optimal amount in that situation? Was I too aggressive...I was essentially playing for a stack here.
