Don't show results as it may skew people's advice.

Raise more preflop. Since you have 2 limpers and you're OOP I'd go to $0.10

River is an easy enough fold. Your flop bet likely folds out all but Ax, flush draws and underpairs. By the river the first two categories are beating you and the third likely checks behind to get to showdown. Villain has no bluffs here.

A decent rule of thumb is to iso (raise vs limps) to 5bb OOP (3-3.5bb in position) plus 1bb per additional limper.

Fold river vs this larger bet when the flush hits and any 4 is a straight.
