I want to start a discussion about what the fundamentals of post-flop play might be at the micro-stakes. I decided this is a pretty huge topic, dependent on position, board texture and a lot of other factors. In this regard, most HH's posted in the forum are a micro-scale look at post-flop play as applied to a specific situation. I would like to organize this thread around the macro-scale concepts that guide situational choices.

Playing PP's is a huge topic of interest that many new players pick up, as well as playing suited A's and broadway pockets. I chose to limit this thread to playing SC's, S1G's and S2G's after the flop, as there is the most subtlety (in my opinion) in playing these pockets.

For this discussion, Hero has one of the following:
{ Q9s,J8s+,T7s+,97s+,86s+,75s+,64s+,53s+,43s }

Just to get the ball rolling, here are some of the questions that occur to me when broaching this topic:
How do pre-flop bets affect your overall strategy or goal when playing these pockets?
What board textures are favorable/unfavorable?
How does position and number/style of opponents factor in to your play?
In what circumstances is building the pot favorable to playing a small pot?

What obvious questions am I missing here?
