Re: 4 hands, 3 big slicks, 10th place

IMO, the small pre-flop raise lets you do two things when you miss. First, you can see the flop relatively cheaply. This means that you can afford a continuation bet which often takes it down right there. If re-raised, the pot is small enough that you can easily let the hand go if re-raised. If called, you get another shot at hitting your TP on the turn, and if you have position, you can often see the river as well. This may sound weak, since you won't get people pot committed when they hit their weak ace on the flop, but I think it's a viable trade-off in the early levels.

I think you'll do just fine against a $33 player if they flop top pair along with you and you have them outkicked, whether or not you raised to 45 or 75 preflop. Also please for the love of God, don't open raise to 100 with QQ+JJ if the blinds are 10-15.
