I am playing .25/.50 but had 1 table of .50/1 when this hand comes up. Villain is a bad player. I had seen him call down with A high an orbit ago to a big bet.

(This call could mean anything from him. Any Q/7/6, club draw, any pair.)
Turn:
($28, 2 players)Hero bets $26, UTG goes all-in $26.8, Hero calls $0.8
(Great card for me as most of the time it cannot help him. He is short stacked with only a pot sized amount left. I cant give him a free card so i put him all in)

UTG lost -$40.30
I dont always play well.... here's a speculative hand where I got lucky. His bet sizing in this hand shows the dangers of small betting.

Pre-flop: ($0.75, 5 players) Hero is UTG

Flop:
($6.25, 3 players)BB checks, Hero bets $3.5, CO raises to $7, BB folds, Hero calls $3.5
(no reads on this player so far. Im not folding to a late position min raise. This doesnt have to mean an Ace)
Turn:
($20.25, 2 players)Hero checks, CO bets $7, Hero calls $7
(J8/68 just hit the straight but unlikely. His bet still looks weak and I still maybe ahead)
River:
($34.25, 2 players)Hero bets $22, CO calls $22
(Boom! hmm.. any 8,KQ,AA im losing to. I make a bet where I am commited if he raises)

This hand was played very poorly by me. My thought process was screwed by his minimum betting. I also think he played the hand bad aswell. What is the better play ? To reraise the min bet on the flop and fold to a rereraise ? Or call the flop minraise and raise the Turn to fold to a push ? I exerted no pressure on this hand and found no information. I wasnt looking to improve the hand with a J or an 8 on the river. I wanted a showdown. I was out of position to a guy with no reads and I got lucky.
Analysis is key to spotting your weaknesses. Self criticism is good and higlighting both good and bad plays help me focus on trying to make the right decisions over time.
I may be totally wrong on both hands above and thats why I post them so you clever poker minds can pick them apart and offer different views and angles to the hands.
Any thoughts ?
