I am unsure of these kind of hands, when they bet into me and I think that I have the best hand.

Now I made him fold, but the reason I reraised him was the possible straight draw on the board.

Should I have done it differently (to earn more money)? And what should I have done if there had not been a draw on the flop?

MP1 ($1.24)
Hero ($4.94)
CO ($3.27)
Button ($0.76)
SB ($5.59)
BB ($2.94)
UTG ($3.07)

Preflop: Hero is MP2 with 3, 3.
1 fold, MP1 calls $0.02, Hero raises to $0.1, 2 folds, SB calls $0.09, 1 fold, MP1 folds.

Flop: ($0.24) 8, 7, 3 (2 players)
SB bets $0.08, Hero raises to $0.24, SB folds.

Final Pot: $0.40

I did not see that it came twice, that was a mistake.

I will see if I can erase the other

raising is standard here. If villain made a real bet and not a 1/3 psb, then you could flat it since the board is pretty dry and your standard 2nl player doesnt have many SC's in his range.

That was also part of my thinkig, that if I only called, he would have a chance to his draw and only have paid 8 cents for it...

correct. alot of micro and low stakes players will donk bet small like this with draws (flush draws more than straight draws in my experience) to try and see the next card for cheap. Ill often raise bets like this with air because its so transparent, but dont make a habit of that without some reads.

you have to raise. Either he has a hand or he doesn't. Letting draws or bigger pairs draw for cheap is just silly. Build the pot
