Played a couple hours of micro NL tonight and went +$10. Things were going well. It's frustrating only ending plus $10 after what felt like a good night of poker but I guess that's part of having a limited bankroll.

I was feeling really good till this happened. My first mistake was only minimum raising preflop. What is the optimal way to play this hand

raise preflop to 0.12 cos of 2 limpers

bet near to pot on flop

get it in on turn

try and get out of the "ive got a great hand i dont want to scare them away so ill bet small" mentality

preflop minraise wasn't the only mistake for sure. Bet closer to pot on the flop, less than half is just asking for this to happen. They prolly had implied odds easily to draw to gutshot.
