Why the huge overbet?

I would have bet the pot (3.45$) to make him think you're defending something like AQ.

I think too that a psb is good here, except that it's 5.45, not 3.45.

He seemed to be strong so I was hoping for a call.

pot it on the turn. Betting $13 into a $4 pot is not going to get called enough. You have 2 streets... its not all or nothing on the turn.

Ease back of the coffee, Griz... Definitely a bit of an overbet.

Had BB made a more substantial bet, I could see that kind of raise, by you raised him 12+ times the size of his turn bet. More often than not, he only calls this with QQ, JJ, or 33, maybe QJ. Otherwise, unless you've established a super loose-aggressive table image, he's folding.

I'd raise it to $4 on the turn and go from there. Try to lure him in, but give him bad odds. Even if he's on a flush draw, he's 80% likely to miss it and is making a mistake odds-wise if he call... And if/when he misses, he's OOP with a bigger pot to consider.

Raise more on the flop. Also, what is BB´s stack?

PF and flop was okay. Raise the turn less, 3-4 dollars would be good.
On the river try to extract as much money as possible, if BB bets just shove it. If he checks, bet 60% of the pot-whole your stack,depending on how much you think he is willing to pay.
