I feel like I've been chasing people off hands too early when I feel I'm in good shape. Probably doing too much minraising as well. How would you have reacted to the flop bet from this other player? After 20 hands he had VP: 21/PR: 0/AF: 1.5. Hadn't done much yet. What's more important here - keeping him in, getting information about his hand, or bumping the pot up quickly?

Stacks:
* blogjjang with $9.80
* BTN with $8.90
* SB with $9.90
* BB with $3.50
* UTG with $2.85
* UTG+1 with $2.00
* MP1 with $7.35
* MP2 with $2.20
* MP3 with $4.55

Blinds: $0.05/$0.10
Site: full tilt poker
Dealt to BTN:A♣ Q♣
* * Sklansky group 2
Preflop:
* * 1 players fold.
* * MP1 calls [$0.10]
* * 3 players fold.
Hero raises to $0.55
* * 2 players fold.
* * MP1 calls [$0.45]
* * Total folds this street: 6
* * Potsize: $1.25
Flop: 7♣ 5♣ A♠
* * MP1 bets [$0.50] Hero raises to $1
* * 1 players fold.
Uncalled bet of $0.50 returned to Hero Hero wins the pot ($2.05)
* * Total folds this street: 1

Dont include outcome and dont minraise. bump it it at least 2 here, its probably less scary than a minraise anyway and you want to build a pot here.

What do you mean by get information? Are you planning to fold this at all? Really never raise for information is a good general rule(may be exceptions but not unless you have a good grasp on a lot of things). So yeah, bump it up more and if he folds he folds, took down a decent pot.
