    Default Flopped set, I need to bet harder, right (10NL)

    I underbet this on all streets, right? Opp was 35/26 over a small sample of hands (31).

    PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $0.10 BB (9 handed) Hand History Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: FlopTurnRiver)

    Hero ($6.85)
    SB ($4.80)
    BB ($8.25)
    UTG ($18.25)
    UTG+1 ($6.50)
    MP1 ($18.55)
    MP2 ($5.25)
    MP3 ($9.55)
    CO ($1.35)

    Preflop: Hero is Button with 3, 3.
    5 folds, CO calls $0.10, Hero calls $0.10, 1 fold, BB checks.

    Flop: ($0.35) Q, 3, A (3 players)
    BB checks, CO checks, Hero bets $0.3, BB calls $0.30, CO folds.

    Turn: ($0.95) 5 (2 players)
    BB checks, Hero bets $0.7, BB calls $0.70.

    River: ($2.35) 2 (2 players)
    BB checks, Hero bets $1, BB calls $1.

    Final Pot: $4.35

    Generally people at this level don't know how to fold, so you have to overbet your big hands. It is really hard to get it all in in an unraised pot, especially if only 1 limper. A river push might get called at this level, since you are short stacked.

    Also, make sure you rebuy to $10 so that you have better implied odds.

    As a portion of the size of the pot, your bets are fine.

    My (very limited) impression of microstakes like 10NL is that you can overbet more because people are thinking in terms of "it's just two bucks to chase that draw" rather than "it's 20% of my stack to chase that draw".

    Buy in full.

    In an un-raised pot you can over-bet the flop and pot the turn. Like bet .50 on the flop. Either someone has an A and you're getting paid, or you're not.

    On the turn with 2 possible flush draws (and an A). Bet $1, you get calls and folds from the same crowd.

    You should always buyin for full. If you happened to gotten allin here you would have missed out on 30 bbs. Flop looks ok, but I pot turn/river... overbetting isn't even that bad of a plan either.
