Albeit....I play at microlimits due to my extreme newbishness and bankroll. However I have been winning consistently (netted $25 on 0.05/0.10 tables thus far..) Well here it is...

Dealer: Hand #106932855
Dealer: aclay47 posts the small blind of $0.05
Dealer: jokerswild30 posts the big blind of $0.10
Dealer: You have been dealt [:Jc: :Ah:]
Dealer: musicman110 calls $0.10
Dealer: BobbySalami raises to $0.30
Dealer: jfdobb folds
Dealer: Trip10 folds
Dealer: salsa1 folds
Dealer: JesuitAce calls $0.30
Dealer: aclay47 folds
Dealer: jokerswild30 calls $0.20
Dealer: musicman110 calls $0.20
Dealer: The flop is [:Ac: :Jh: ]
Dealer: jokerswild30 checks
Dealer: musicman110 checks
Dealer: BobbySalami bets $0.85
Dealer: JesuitAce folds
Dealer: jokerswild30 folds
Dealer: musicman110 folds
Dealer: Uncalled bet of $0.85 returned to BobbySalami
Dealer: BobbySalami mucks
Dealer: BobbySalami wins the pot ($1.20)

Should I have just raised more preflop and been happy with the pot? The table was pretty tight and I hate taking down only 0.15 pots when everyone folds to my preflop big raises...I also didnt want to give any flush draws a cheap card, but since noone would be betting on the nutflush, should I have slow played it a bit?

Thanks for giving a newb some advice.

I would always try and bet against the draw because there are two of them on the board (3 if you count the two different straight possibilities)

There are actually tons of straight draws here. K-Q, K-10, Q-10, 10-8, 10-7 and 7-8. I think that's all of them.

Oh I meant whether it's high or low based on both the A and 9 being on the board, but you're right, there are a ton of hands with draws at this point

 you did fine. you might've squeezed a few more cents out of it by raising preflop to .40 instead of .30, and i don't think that would really scare anyone away, but otherwise good flop bet. i'd even bet a little more.
