Ok I am playing 5/10cent no limit over at Royal Vegas on thier dime(10 bucks for free)

And I got up to 22 bucks went down to around 9 and am up to around 12.

So heres what I do sometimes, if I hit an ok hand like suited connectors or something else I call prefolp with around 2 other callers and I miss my flop entirely and it gets checked to me or I am middle I sometimes like to lead out with a 40cent bet into whats usually a 30cent pot. Usually both guys fold but sometimes I get called or raised. When I get called sometimes I will throw money on the turn at it.

Throwing money out like that with a losing hand is my biggest leak, but is the Flop bet a pretty good strategy and just walk away if they raise me?
