Is there any way i can lay this down?

Liked the flop and loved the turn,

If you wanna play this hand then raise less preflop, 60 is plenty.

You're playing a horrible raggy Ace so you're gonna get called by Sooo many hands that have you crushed... Really the value in this hand is trying for the straight or flush or maybe 2pr but you should never be that happy with top pair, no kicker.

The call isn't bad on the flop. I NEVER raise the turn here, you should really only get called by a better ace or a flush.

Obviously you know you can't fold on the river when his all in is about 10% of the pot. You're just unlucky he rivered the straight really but it could have been played better (even though it wouldnt affect the result really)

Whats this a multi? Anyway I'd shove the flop and flip with his calling range.

grantorino

raise less pre

flop, meh I hate this I prob call

turn, I think is a fold. Never raise it

river as played you gotta call

Wow my analysis was exactly the same as GT's lol... I must be getting better. Although to be fair, this hand couldnt be much more standard

I was just looking for constructive replies whether i played it ok re bet sizes etc
Thanks for the reply but dont "take me under your wing"

depends a lot on what you think of the villain in the hand.

i think the way you played the hand is absolutely fine on the assumption that you knew villain is a fish. having position and knowing villain has a wide range im happy to build the pot quickly early. 

also, if you know he is a fish you have to raise that flop.  imo a fish will rarely lead out a strong hand here.  and id prob be willing to get it in on the flop under these circumstances.

if you dont know he is a fish or expect him to be a good player then smaller pre and fold (maybe flat) turn.
