I'm not a fan of your bet sizing.
On the flop, the pot is ~3, so bet at least $2. Bet more on the turn as well if you're going to bet.
Flop bet is standard. Turn I usually check against an unknown and try to get to showdown, though betting again to charge flush draws is alright sometimes. River is good.
