Gotta reraise that flop for sure. This will give u a better idea where you are at. I most likely raise 5 dollars here. If he calls no biggie. You are now in control of the hand and he will most likely check the turn and you can go from there. You not only control the hand and the pot, but you get a better read on him. Not betting in position here is a big mistake.

Definitely raise the flop. He bet $1.5 into $6, so go ahead and take control of the hand. You can always check behind on the turn for pot control. Here I think you're beat. You called twice on a dry board and it didn't dissuade him from betting the river, even though it was only $11 into $24. Can't blame you for calling though against an unknown getting over 3:1.
