Gotta raise flop more....raise to pot. Make it $1.30.

You might be able to get away from the turn because that card completed a draw, but I don't think I do at $10. Had you raised on flop more, though, he wouldn't have had odds to chase his two pair (or a draw if you put him on that).

raise flop more. i'd probably bet a bit less on the turn and fold to the all-in.

 Raise the flop a lot more. On the turn I call the allin because this could be any ace. Also, in order to get non-biased responses to your hand, do not post the results.

pre-flop good.
Flop, with that min-raise you deserve to get stacked. The reason is that it is meaningless in relation to the amount that is already in the pot - you need to be betting at least 1/2 pot here - i like raising to around $1.15.

As for playing with 50bb, um, ok, but it's better to have at least 75 or to drop a level.
don't raise with the straight flush bro, nobody ever gonna call that shit
allin, reload, repeat

I would prefer to have 50 or 100 rather than 75 personally. At 75 you aren't deep enough to take full advantage of most of the implied odds plays that you can make at 100BB, and you aren't short enough to felt a good but not great hand as profitably.

I have been 1/2 stacking 50 NL lately with good results (stupid party poker giving me free money to play with but making it virtually impossible to clear). Players at smaller stakes will not make the necessary (or proper) adjustments to your stack size at 50BB, while they won't really need to adjust much at all at 75BB.
