Hi,

Preflop is okay even tho good players usually won't think you're making a move when you do it from the blinds against an early position raiser. At microstakes you likely have the best hand a good chunk of the time anyway so you can't go wrong with it. If the original raiser is tight/taggish you might prefer flatting and looking for good postflop spots.

On the flop c-betting is mandatory, but I'd make it bigger. I know it's a dry board and all so it's not required to bet big to make people fold when they have nothing in theory. In practice, people easily get suspicious/cally when it's cheap, which could lead to you having to check/fold later on even tho your hand might be best. So I'd rather err on the side of betting more to begin with, like $0.3+. Even if we get called, with two overcards and some backdoors we don't mind the pot behind slightly bigger.

Hope it helps.
