Is there any point c-betting a flop so bad? We good with the 3-bet pre? I know he's betting a tiny amount on the turn, but there's so little I can beat even if a ten comes out. Should I still call that? I'm a limit player usually and this is my first time posting a no limit hand, so feel free to rip me to bits.

If you want to 3-bet preflop (which I don't really mind), bet more. I'd make it a least $0.70. In any case, if you 3-bet preflop, I think you have to c-bet this flop. It's not about what you have, it's about what he thinks you have. At low limits, it seems that people have a tendency to put 3-bettors on AK or QQ-TT, so this flop is very likely at least as scary to villain as it is to you. Bet a dollar or so. If you get check-raised, you can fold with a good conscience. If he just calls, you'll have to see what happens on the turn, using your position to your advantage. More often than not though, you'll just take it down.

As played, I would tend to fold, because it looks like a failed check-raise attempt trying to keep you in the pot. But it could also be a flush draw, or a pair smaller than yours. You'd know more if you bet the flop.

You should raise more preflop. Raise to $1. After that flop I'm fine with checking behind and then folding the turn as you probably don't have the best hand and a lot of his range has you drawing dead/very slim.

^what they said.

Check folding this post flop is absolutely fine.
