Yeh, you'd need to go heavier on the flop for sure, more from the danger of counterfitting than anything.

Really I see him on three types of hands

1) QT, betting on a semi-bluff
2) 33, 77, AA allowing opposition to improve and launching hoping someone hit the king.
3) Hits king himself.

Given his lack of starting chips then No.3 gains a little more probability....eg KT,KJ, K7suited, K3suited.

If he has just arrived, has just been beaten, or has been playing irratic, then call. Otherwise fold.

Topic should read "Weak flop bet followed by weak turn bet which gives me absolutely no idea where I'm at and leads me to having to make a really awkward decision when raised on the turn"

It's 1c/2c. As played call - he has two pretty cards of some sort.

Thats about it...I got overconfident with my hand and was trying to slowplay it.

Turns out the guy had KJ, I probably could of put him on the J with a decent flop bet and if he showed power on the turn I would of known that he had more. At least this poker lesson only cost me .60c :p

I was hoping for a raise...
Noooooo! Bet out strong, as you're going to get out-drawn.

1st rule of poker: bet more when you have a strong hand. Bet less when you have a weak hand.

Simple and obvious! :D

Oh yeah, and in a multi-way pot, you can and must bet more, and slow-play less. Whereas heads-up you could slow-play here (wouldn't recommend it), in a 5-way pot I wouldn't slow-play anything less than top set on a board with no draws. Even there, you're probably better off betting for value.

And fold the Turn because it's unlikely you have the best hand. People usually go all-in with a strong hand, better than bottom two pair.

I dunno, I think I disagree. I think you have to call here, as played. I mean, it's micro limits... how much credit can we really give the villain? The play is only marginally stronger than at the play money tables.
