New to table so no reads:

Full Tilt No-Limit Hold'em, $0.10 BB (8 handed) Hand History Converter Tool (http://poker-tools.flopturnriver.com/Hand-Converter.php) from FlopTurnRiver.com (http://www.flopturnriver.com) (Format: 2+2 Forums)

Button ($11.40)
Hero ($3.75)
BB ($9.80)
UTG ($4.20)
UTG+1 ($3.80)
MP1 ($3.10)
MP2 ($8.40)
CO ($13.70)

Preflop: Hero is SB with 6/images/graemlins/diamond.gif, K/images/graemlins/heart.gif.
<font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, UTG+1 calls $0.10, <font color="#666666">2 folds</font>, CO calls $0.10, Button calls $0.10, Hero completes, BB checks.

Flop: ($0.50) K/images/graemlins/club.gif, 6/images/graemlins/club.gif, 7/images/graemlins/club.gif <font color="#0000FF">(5 players)</font>
Hero checks, BB checks, UTG+1 checks, CO checks, <font color="#CC3333">Button bets $1</font>, Hero ???

Questions:
1. Should I have folded K6o from the small blind?
2. With two pair on the flop but with no clubs and first to act, should I bet out?
3. Everyone checks to the button who bets 2x the pot. What should I do? What would be the relevant PokerTracker stats to consider?

Thanks.

Preflop is borderline, mostly fold, as long as you don't overplay top pair. Shove this flop. Are you playing short for some reason?

preflop is terrible. yes, you should be betting out on this flop looking to get all in. now that you have a bettor go ahead and go all in.

[/ QUOTE ] there aren't any. you have 2 pair, you have &lt;40bbs, this is an instant push.

1. Personally I would instafold preflop, but I don't think completing is "terrible" if you're confident in your postflop skills. Huge implied odds with so many limpers, especially at low stakes like these.
2. Definitely bet out. Flush draws, top pair, etc. are much more likely than a flopped flush, so there's tons of value in a bet here.
3. I don't know jack about PokerTracker.

Personally I don't mind the pf call - you are getting 9:1. Against this many opponents, you need to bet, probably the whole pot. As played, given your stack, it's a shove.

Thanks for the comments.
No real reason to playing short, other than I'm just getting my feet wet again after making a successful deposit for the first time since the internet ban.
Yeah, the preflop call was marginal, but I was getting 9-1 and wanted to take a shot. I would have folded to a raise by the big blind.
I ended up raising all-in. Folded to the button who called. Button had 54 for an OESD with no clubs.
