Bet the turn or call the river?

Easy river fold, I think an easy turn bet. So little you beat on the river, but you're still ahead of a fair amount of hands on the turn, don't have a ton of outs if beaten so folding to a c/r isn't a disaster, and you probably don't get bluffed out of as many pots the odd time you are good on the end by betting the turn.

A couple of thoughts:

1. I think you should probably fire again on the turn. With all low cards, you hand may still be good, and if your opponent has a hand like QT or something you'd like to encourage a fold.

2. On the river, conventional wisdom (and many good books) will note that you should be very careful about folding AK u/i on the river if you check behind the turn. Here, though, your opponent seems pretty passive, and the river put up a card that could very reasonably have made your opponent a better hand. In a small pot, I think folding the river given the specific situation is probably best.
