 I'm generally a FR player but I've been dabbling in some shorthanded play. Is this standard-ish? The two opponents are both running 50/15 ish and seem pretty bad.

$0.12/$0.25 No Limit Holdem
6 players
Converted at weaktight.com

Stacks:
Hero ($24.63)
UTG 1 ($47.14)
CO ($20.49)
BTN ($17.50)
SB ($34.56)
BB ($30.65)

Pre-flop: ($0.37, 6 players) Hero is UTG
Hero raises to $1, UTG 1 calls $1, 1 fold, BTN calls $1, SB calls $0.88, 1 fold

Flop: ($4.25, 4 players)
SB bets $0.25, Hero raises to $3, UTG 1 calls $3, 1 fold, SB calls $2.75

Turn: ($13.25, 3 players)
SB checks, Hero bets $6.57, 1 fold, SB folds

Final Pot: $19.82

Hero wins $19.16 ( won $8.59 )
SB lost -$4.00
UTG 1 lost -$4.00
BTN lost -$1.00

Your line is good.
You can raise a bit bigger on flop and bet turn a bit harder if you don't want to have a difficult decision on certain rivers (clubs) where you might have to c/f.
On the other hand, this betsizing might hold KJ, KT and TT type of hands in and a larger one won't. It's not like the board is very draw heavy, it's still 3 way tho.

I would have bet more on the turn like 9-10.

 raise flop bigger and bet turn harder. like 8 or 9. you have the best hand here with two donkeys, so we want to get enough money in the middle to set up a river shove if a non club comes.

 yep basically what i was thinking, that "damn, that was a pisss weak bet" feeling on the turn. Just wasn't used to so many fish flat calling me when I was OOP with TPGK so I was uncomfortable I guess.

2 days of 6-max compared to what i'm used to in FR, wayyy more calling stations omfg. and preflop maniacs. both super +EV.
