festive cash games

so to the cash games! played two so far and have followed the advice given in my bible, the virgin guide to poker! yes richard branson has his fingers in pies i had never even thought of, including poker literature! anyway, its pretty simplistic advice around starting hands and position and it all makes sense so didn't really stray to far from that. probably means my game is incredibly easy to read but helps make sure i mostly enter pots ahead even if i don't finish them there!

seen a few interesting plays here and there by other players but looks mostly like straight forward poker down here at the bottom of the tank. have been looking through my hand history to see if there is anything interesting to share and on the most part there isn't. seeing aces hold up against one callers A/K is pretty boring and not worth your time, however one hand that i has got me thinking is this one. any feedback on the play here would be really helpful, was i being a total fish calling what i thought was a continuation bet and then playing my draw aggressively on his check? its a tiny pot but one of those hands that is quite interesting
