i think betting pot size or over betting this early when the blinds are so micro low is a mistake cause most aggressive players like to play alot of hands at this stage of the game to build up their stacks early.
i think your thinking about this wrong. you want people to call a big bet preflop with your big hands (AA, KK, etc.) and the reason we size the bet bigger when the blinds are small is because at lower stakes if a player is going to call 120 they'll usually call 200. you shouldn't be afraid to play a big pot when you have a big hand, you'll usually stack a player who calls you and hits top pair at the lower stakes.

..best bet is to play trapping this early & not get too commited to 2 pairs...big pairs this early in the game are dangerous because unless u bet ridiculous or go all in 2 barely win anything, u really cant push plyrs out of the hand. so if by ur continuation bet they still call best bet is to slow down.
playing trappy at low stakes is usually always a mistake, because players call so wide it makes more sense just to bet for value when you have a hand.
