I know it was an overbet but with the flush draw out there, I was content with taking down the pot where it was at and didn't put them on very strong hands. What could I have done better? Maybe a larger pre-flop raise to get more out of them?

dont overplay 1 pair. Price people outta pots. Force players to make mistakes.

If you cant handle someone outdrawing you, you're playing with scared money. And btw, you will only get called when youre behind.

you're playing short stack poker.

so yes, getting it all in on the flop with top pair is what you will have to be content with.

but next time try and keep 100bb on the table so you get paid off the best with your strong hands.

Don't min-raise preflop in NL.
What's the point??

ahh you beat me to it.. Min raises SUCK

Min raises are for lazy bums who don't want to move the little slide arrow. So don't min-raise.

And yeah, all in pf.
