My thoughts on each street:
-preflop call with T4s multi-way might be too loose... I called because I feel I have an advantage versus the player pool, but also am concerned about rake considerations.
-flop check/raise seems standard except maybe should have sized it a couple BB's higher.
-turn is awkward. I definitely do not like the idea of allowing JJ-KK and Tx to get a free card, as I think they will often check behind. I decide to bet/call but I am not happy about it.
-river counterfeits me and now I consider his range. He could have AA, AT, and boats, but I think a lot of those will shove the turn on such a draw-heavy board. I think his most likely hand is Ax of clubs. However, there are so many flush draws on this board, and combo draws, that I think he plays this way. I decide to call. He ends up showing a lower two pair (46o) but I'm not concerned so much about results as the way the hand should be played in general.

What do you guys think?
