I'm pretty new to NL so please give me some feedback on this hand. It is fairly standard I guess but I usually feel lost postflop. It might serve well to get me started on postflop concepts in NL.
Villain seems loose and pretty passive. very small sample though so maybe just treat him as an unknown NL25 player.
Villain has $14, and I cover him.
a) Is the flop raise good? size?
b) I check behind on turn to keep pot size down. Pointless? Bad idea given the possible FD?
c) On the river, i'm betting (~4-5) if he checks. Is there any value in raising this?
