Bet the flop bigger about 0.75, bet the turn about 1.9 and then bet the river 1/3-1/2 pot and fold to a raise. I'm assuming he's a typical loose passive as opposed to a bluffing maniac (in which case call).

why are you checking the turn?

i check the turn because i dont wanna play a big pot in that spot, with no draws in the board i thought that was a good idea

Theres a FD Winning at the micros is all about value betting so top pair top kicker means bet bet bet

Yes - bet/bet/bet here vs unknowns at micros.

Keep walking the dog. Bet the turn and river.

Your suggesting he bet .75 flop 1.9 turn and bet fold river for half pot ? Hero would have around $4.60 of his $5 stack in the middle ?

Im assuming you missread stacks or the hand ?

bet turn/jam river should be your default.

this is just way too passive and you're leaving alot of $ on the table here with the way you played this hand.

Yeah I did, thinking about it now I would bet near pot on flop and jam the turn
