PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $0.10 BB (3 handed) Hand History Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: FlopTurnRiver)

saw flop|saw showdown

SB ($13.70)
Hero ($10)
Button ($3.70)

Preflop: Hero is BB with 7, A.
Button raises to $0.2, SB raises to $0.5, Hero calls $0.40, Button calls $0.30.

Flop: ($1.50) 4, 7, 2 (3 players)
SB bets $0.5, Hero raises to $1, Button folds, SB calls $0.50.

Turn: ($3.50) 9 (2 players)
SB checks, Hero bets $2, SB folds.

Final Pot: $5.50

I play 1/2 6-max LHE, I have no idea how to play NL really. This was my first hand at $10 NL on stars.
What's standard? Fold preflop? Raise more on the flop?

Don't call a raise and a reraise with Axs preflop. And don't minraise! Raise like you mean it.

Don't minraise. Check turn. You have a good hand w/a sweet draw, and the last thing you want is to get blown off your hand by a c/r.

not really a concern at 10NL though.

Both are fine. It's 3 handed.

Yeah between $1.50 and $2. Check behind on the turn because of what bdawg said.

Whenever you make a bet or a raise for value or to defend your hand against draws make sure you are laying them 3:1 or less to call.

e.g. You flop top pair and are first to act. The pot is 10 dollars. A good value bet would be something like 7 dollars. That way they are getting 17:7 or 2.5:1 on their call.

e.g. You flop big and villain bets 7 into a 10 pot, but there is a flush draw and you want to defend against it. A good raise would be to 27. That way they are getting 44:20 or 2.2:1 on their call.
