First hand at a new table. Thinking going in is this:
  • Lots of uncertainty in my game because I've played < 2,200 hands in ring and know I've got a lot to learn
  • Slowplaying seems to be how new players play a solid hand by default.
  • New players don't know this, so any bet on a scary board will scare a few off.
  • There's always the risk of hitting a third flush card on the board, and low limits seem chock-full of folks who'll play any 2 suited, and will play along hoping for a 3rd spade so their 23 has a shot @ winning.
  • I know I'm probably overthinking this -- if they're one-tabling microlimits, there's a good chance they aren't even thinking about their own hands properly.

So, micro limits, first hand forced blind. How would you have played this, and how should I play it in the future?

 Lead the flop.

I also never post a bb until I am 2 spots from the button. The blinds are your biggest losing positions, you don't want to post extra ones.

Preflop: Dont post in UTG+1

On the flop I would lead for close to a PSB and continue that aggression on the next streets.
