Good Value?

Did I make the proper value bets, or could or should I have played this hand differently...

I think that your bets were fine. After all, you accomplished the goal of getting all of their money into the pot. I thought that betting a little less than half the pot on the flop was good. This way you get them to come along with middle or bottom pair. I would of maybe bet about a dollar more on the river just to be sure you get some more money into the pot for the times they only call.

I think a considerably bigger bet -- close to pot -- is in order on the flop. You want to plan your bets so that you can get all in on the river without having to overbet the pot. You can reasonably expect to get one, but not two, callers, so I think $0.50 on the flop followed by $1.50 on the turn (assuming your deeper stacked opponent calls) gives you the best shot at getting all the money in. Once you get two calls on the flop, you don't have to bet quite as big a fraction of the pot on the turn to position yourself to put your opponents all in by the river.

First of all... am I crazy or did you raise to 14 cents yet the button/sb had to call 18 cents. I keep looking at it and I'm just not understanding.

Anyway... Bet the flop a bit harder. Your bet wasn't even half pot so make it more like $.35 or so and that's better... there's no reason to bet full pot here. Otherwise this was good.

I raised .14 cents on top of the .04 for the BB, for some reason it reads like that... IDK, I thought I was crazy at first too... LOL

OK, you are 4handed so raise is fine. As for postflop game you accomplished what you wanted. in my opinion if you flop hard you can loose one of your opponents. So slightly thin bet is the best way to get all your opponents in.
