In the last 20 min or so, I'd opened otb and picked up the blinds maybe 4-5 times. Time before last, SB made it $3 and I folded. Seems like a reasonable player.

Misclick on the river - I was basically all-in (~$1.50 behind).
Should I raise flop?
Should turn bet be bigger b/c of draws, then check behind river?
Good value bet on river as played?

4BB+1BB/limper is 2+2 standard for preflop raises. I would check behind on river.

Preflop I'd certainly make it 4BB. Exploit your edge, they won't fold for that 1BB extra.

I like the flop. A raise folds out hands like KK,QQ and TT, which are very likely. Keep them in, they are drawing thin anyway. With raising you won't fold out worse hands.

Turn, I'd bet fold here. If he raises you, he has you beat no doubt. Amount is good.

River, hmm. He calls your turnbet, and he is a reasonable player. Will he pay off with KK and QQ? TT got there, which is a likely holding. maybe he played AK like a wuss. I dunno, I think I check behind here.

I probably bet 3/4 pot on turn and check behind river. The only TP hand we beat is AT, and I doubt KK or QQ are calling a value bet on river.

I would have made it $1 pf. I like a check behind on the river. Everything else seems fine.
