Okay, I've been around a lot lately at stars and I recognize a few of your names from playing with you. But anyways, I realize there are a lot of retards online (most players) at the lower limits who will call any bet with any draw and a lot of times with any ace on the flop. I also realized that usually whenever they make any kind of raise on the flop after I c bet they usually have two pair or better. When I have a hand even as good as AQs in position and they check to me and say the flop comes A89 rainbow i will give it a bet and sure enough here they come with some stupid min raise and constantly find them to have me beat. So what do you guys say i do here with this AQ give it one call on the flop and maybe fold on the turn. What about when i flop top pair with J10? Do i give it another card? Or give it up on the flop?

Depends on reads, reads, reads.

Although obviously most donks won't be making hard reads on you, if you are giving up to any sort of raise (even a minraise) after you make a flopbet, smart players are going to be playing back at you a lot. Not really a good thing in my opinion.

If you're having trouble, maybe you need to stop betting as often on the flop (with air or semibluffs) and you definitely, DEFINITELY need to take notes or pay attention to peoples' betting patterns. A showdown is super valuable information.

But honestly, depending on which limits you play (which are??? lol) you could just camp/play tight-postional preflop and not stack off with worse than top 2 postflop.

Respect raises.
Now that you are respecting raises, look for places not to. Pick your spots; like when you have AQ on an Q high flop and you think THIS PERSON might reraise as a position steal or because he has KQ and thinks he is good. Pick your spots and work to refine your reads.
Stakes: Playing $0.10/$0.25 NL
