raise it to 0.16ish... For the flush he has 8 outs and no odds. Let him draw against odds, thats good for you.

Just make a pot sized raise

.16 is way too small a raise on this type of flop

Ive we are potting it is going to be 0.19 ... what do you suggest?

[Kondzik]

raise it to 25-30 or so.. u want your opponent to make mistakes, not fold, cause u earn from thier mistakes. When they fold they do the right thing here.. so raise enough not to give odds and hope someone is gonna play

[Spechel EDD]

id prefer a raise to $6.75 next time

There's no shame in overbetting the pot here. You don't want 4 calls, so make it $0.30. You'll get 1 or 2 calls with this bet all day.

The shove is pretty bad. UTG donks for $0.04 in a $0.11 pot and he only gets some calls, so nobody has shown real interest in this pot. Try to maximize your winnings and don't be afraid to get sucked out on. If the the turn brings a spade there's always the 'Fold' button, right?

There's $0.23 in the pot now, plus $0.04 for our call. So a pot size raise is raise to $0.31

I don't know how these games play, so i can't give a good advice on some amount to raise. You have to raise the amount with the best expectation, which can be calculated: you have to guess how often your villains will call, how often they win, how often they loose, etc. You don't have to do this everytime, but if you do it a few times you will get a feel on what is a good amount. 6.76 is probably not the best amount.

looking back on it i should have raised about .50
