So this is early on in the session, playing my 7th hand. I had to sit out briefly to take care of something IRL, and still had auto-post checked when I sat back in, so I've posted a small dead blind of $0.02.

I'm uncomfortable at these OOP spots post-flop, so please comment on my thinking.

iPoker No-Limit Hold'em, $0.04 BB (5 handed) - iPoker Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com

Button ($4.46)
SB ($1.84)
BB ($1.60)
Hero (UTG) ($4.06)
MP ($3.44)

Preflop: Hero is UTG with 10, 10
Hero bets $0.16, MP calls $0.16, Button calls $0.16, SB calls $0.14, 1 fold

Okay, I'm UTG with a good hand. I raise. MP and BU call behind - I'm not pleased that I'm OOP vs 2 pops going in a multi-way flop. I also have this feeling that because I posted the dead blind, people are giving me less credit for a real hand - is this a real or imagined phenomenon?

Flop: ($0.68) 7, 9, 2 (4 players)
SB checks, Hero bets $0.40, MP calls $0.40, 2 folds

I flop an overpair on a dry board. With so many PF callers, the pot is rather large, and I'm reluctant to play for stacks here. I still have a good hand which can get value out of 9x, 7x, T8s, smaller pp, random broadways, so I bet, on the small side, to try to keep the pot size under control. Maybe when pot control is on my mind, I should bet even smaller on this dry board?

Turn: ($1.48) K (2 players)
Hero bets $0.68

I've only seen 7 hands of the caller, but I've already seen him open limping Q6s and KTs and such so he's probably bad. The one time I've seen him get aggressive was with a very strong hand. I feel like my hand still has value vs 9x and lower PPs. The problem I find in these spots is the awkward stack sizes. I went into the hand not wanting to play for stacks, but by this point any further betting basically leaves us with <1 PSB left. The problem with checking when the pot is already large is that vs an unknown at these stakes I feel like I leave myself open to being bluffed off my hand. Do I have a strong enough hand to c/c turn and river? My thinking was that by betting, I can at least dictate the bet sizing and get him to call with worse, raise with hands that beat us.
