Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em, $ BB (10 handed) converter

BB ($11.35)
Hero ($33.95)
UTG+1 ($25.4)
UTG+2 ($25.55)
MP1 ($21.7)
MP2 ($23.9)
MP3 ($46.25)
CO ($19)
Button :#A500AF(Villain)/ ($32.9)
SB ($30.95)

Preflop: Hero is UTG with Q[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], K[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]. SB posts a blind of $0.1.
Hero raises to $0.75, 6 folds, Button :#A500AF(Villain)/ calls $0.75, 2 folds.

Flop: ($1.85) 3[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], J[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], Q[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] (2 players)
Hero bets $1.85, Villain calls $1.85.

Turn: ($5.55) 2[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] (2 players)
Hero bets $3, Villain raises to $6....

I know I messed this up, but what's the worst? Should I limp this? I don't want to play a draw OOP against a full field. Turn bet bad?

Limp or raise more pre-flop.

Otherwise the hand was played fine, you might as well overbet the pot on the flop and check / fold if a club hits.

I raised less because the table was playing really tight. I'm just going to stick to $1.00 from now on though.

I think your line makes more sense.

If a table's really tight either:

1) Find another table.

2) Raise more BB pre-flop and/or raise more often. Never raise less BB.

Yeah, I've been doing #2 a lot. Especially because it seems like the last couple days every table I've sat at, I get AK twice every half hour, bet and the table folds.

And I raise a lot with positionn.

This is an old one but a good one..

If people are always folding to your rasies you're not raising enough.
