Maybe just limping here is bit passive especially on the button but when i bet 120 and get called/raised all ive managed to do is build a big pot with a weak hand and im pretty much c/f most flops.

I screwed up on turn. Thinking i have 8 outs i only need 16% equity i was getting 5.5:1 but for some reason i forgot about the flush on the board and how bad AXs hits someones limp range and called i know this was a mistake though.

limp pre is fine to setmine, but know what sort of flop you want to see (hint: it has at least one of the two remaining 4s)

fold to first bet preflop when you miss your set; your straight draw and flush draw are both terribly weak and will almost never get paid by worse hands.

I will even go so far as to say that raising is probably an error here. What you want with small pairs is a cheap multi-way pot. If you flop a 4 your chances of a big pot are great with so many players.

If you get aggressive and raise you may win a small pot or go to the flop 3 or 4 way and miss your 4 and if the pot gets big, your small pair is in a lot of trouble.

If you want to take shots at limpers, use hands that don't have such great implied odds to see a cheap flop.
