0.24 or so pre. 0.37 flop. Easy shove turn.
As played dont minraise flop, think about the odds youre giving villain. That raise should also be higher.

Sett beat me to it, but you need to up your betting.
Tilt is poker cancer. You catch it, you die.

AGAIN, bigger raises! Pre make it a standard 3BB+1/limper or 4BB+1/limper, your choice.
FLOP: what odds are you giving 3 villains to hit a flush? how about implied odds? Seriously, answer these questions.

ok so in addition to raising pf to ~.18, i should also bet more on the turn...how much would you have bet/should i have bet to give them bad odds ~.50? or should i just over shove, putting him all in on the turn?

What do you need to raise on the flop to give villain's worse than 3-1 to see a turn? Bet this and then add some since one of the idiots might cold call and improve the other idiots odds.

Then playing the turn is so friggin' easy. You just shove. If they did hit their draw you have a redraw to a boat and you can move on confidently knowing that they misplayed the hand, not you. Winning or losing that one specific hand matters not.. you will win money over time.

little less than 2/1. cant be giving villain those odds, i understand where i screwed up. needed to raise more pf and prob shove turn. i just expect ppl to chase their flush draws at this level regardless of odds.

Yes they chase regardless of odds... And that's the reason why micro stakes are easy to beat.

By giving them the right odds you make them play their draws right. Something to think about...
