The min bet looks like a draw to me. I feel, often low stakes player will put out a small blocking style bet with a weak drawing hand, such as AQ here, maybe Qh. Since you raised the flop and got 2 callers you could make a case for raising again here to try to push out the draw but in a $.01/.02 game your opp prob doesn't understand pot odds. You could call here and see if the river is a blank or raise.

Easy call.

First off, I'm assuming none of them has a flush or they would be betting heavy. 2NL love to overbet or shove anything higher than a set. $0.04 doesn't look like they have anything higher than a set. So your two pair is probably ahead and they called your raise because they have one heart in their hand.

But let's say that they are just passive and already have something. You still have 8 outs to improve your hand. Any 8 will give you a straight (that would beat any eventual slowplayed set) any T or any 7 would give you a boat. That's 8 outs roughly 16% change with one card left.

You are being asked to pay around 4% of the pot for a 8% chance of beating sets, two pairs or tieing straights and 8% of winning it to a total of 16%: it's a call to me.

I just flat the flop, now I pump the turn way up to like $1.25. There are so many draws on the flop that we're not really a favorite over, so raising mostly just increases our variance.

They are really bad so I decided to throw 10 blinds more with hope they will fold.I played with lot of dumb players here who checks with full house until river and get nothing on showdown.
