Second hand of the match so obviously no reads. Guy is a gold star which isn't all that common at these stakes. Is my thought process alright here? Where he limped I'm thinking 78 or club draws with maybe possible 2 pair. Obviously can't put him on AA but should something have thrown up a red flag that I was dominated or is this an alright play with no reads?

i don't call that.
i conditioned myself to smile when i feel like feel like i might fold a winner.
that way you condition villain to keep making plays and you might get value out of your bighands at some point.
i also noticed that i rarely hate myself for folding as much as i do for calling.
i actually hate myself for unnessesary herocalls even if i win the hand.
generally, and i don't know at what stakes this changes, i strongly feel that you make the most money simply by not screwing up. at the 10$ level there is no need to try to own opponents. because everybody is struggeling with their own discipline.
I really do the same in similar spots like in this hands, even in spots where I am more obviously not good, feeling so bad about it,
I never considered improving this leak. I never tryed to make this kind of laydowns to observe how I feel about it, but I guess it's a lot of release. I will definetly try tu use your advice.
