Default NL10 - Did I 3bet too little preflop?

I want overall analysis on this hand please. I took your guys' advice and instead of calling preflop I decided to 3bet this. With the board the way it came I figured I had to go ahead and Cbet the flop for 2/3. Anyone do anything different at all?

I like. It's about a pot sized reraise which is about where I make mine when there's callers after the initial raise.

I'd make it $1.50 to $2.00 myself. On the flop I'd play it like it's the nuts.

Ya its a touch too small but still ok, general rule cbet about 2/3 in 3bet pots because the cbet still works but it's just cheaper to get away from when you get shat on.

3bet is the third bet. The blinds count as the first bet, the person raising counts as the second, and when you reraise that's the 3rd bet.

Cbet means continuation bet - when you bet on the flop after you've raised preflop regardless of whether you hit or not.

My standard raise would be pot sized, but when I'm in the blinds I like to add 1-2bb to the pot raise. So in this case I raise it up to $1.80. I like doing this to compensate for positional disadvantage as it charges folk more to see a flop against you in position.

Yep, serious cbettage on that flop.

I would have played it slightly differently. Your preflop raise is standard and good to go but I would have raised 5BB because of the first player raise and the two calls before you. Thus, I would have tripled the first raise and added a $.30 for each player in the pot. It would have been a $1.50 raise hoping to be head's up ith the raiser. The continuation bet is perfect compared to the pot.

Nicely played then.
How was the outcome ?

Definitely too small.
When there has been a raise and a number of callers I like to think of each player as the equivalent of a PF limper and apply the standard 3-4bb + 1bb per limper.
Here I would therefroe consider there are 3 limpers at 30c so make my raise around the $1.80 - $2.10 mark.
