First post in here. Not been playing long so thought I'd stick to mostly micro cash/DYM etc until I get some level of skill. But this seems to keep happening:

Have I done anything wrong or is it just the variance/luck factor inherent in micro games?

    Raise a bit bigger pre mate ( 24p ) but in all honesty they are prob gonna still call you.

    The rest of the hand you played fine v 2 players who obvi dont like folding and you just got unlucky.

    Just put a note on their names and in future hands charge them the max to try and hit then before you know it you will be getting all your cash back with interest :)

    Also in future mate its best to blank the players names out in the hand history

    I probably bet smaller on flop with intention of getting it in on turn. Seriosuly though you get this in miles ahead wp sir.

    It tells you all you need to know when QT off is happy at taking a shot at this. Be patient wait for hands, get your chips in and collect. Agree with Don that if there's any chance they're folding, my flop bet would be more reasonably sized, if we know they're coming along jam it in and reload if we're unlucky.

    Thanks for the advice.
    Bet sizing is a problem that I know I need to work on.  I think whatever bet I put in would have been called (one hoping for a Jack and the other hoping for a heart).
    There doesn't seem to be much understanding of bets made out of position at this level as well.  Suppose patience and practice are going to be the key.
