Check-fold all the way. Why are you betting that flop 3/4 handed?

I like it. The board is too drawy to be aggressive after the flop with TP, and I think hands like a naked A

bet the river a lot.

No reason to bet that flop. If checked all the way through I would call the river.

dont show the results next time. as is, ur play is decent. depending on the tourney, i prob fold pf. ATo just doesnt play well in a family pot. anyway, with that many heads in a pot on that board, i prob c/c or c/f the flop depending the action. checkin behind on the turn is good but I hate rivering 2pair which puts me in the "must call" zone.

Nothing wrong with calling ATo here or even raising, but this early, I think you did a fine job of keeping that pot small and not losing much. I think if you didnt post the results, you may have gotten some different responses even post flop imo. But overall, I think you lost at least close to the minimum here.

On second thought, I probably lead the turn and check/call river.
