Hey. My first post at p2p. Just starting out NL4 with 80$ roll after losing 70$ by taking shots at NL10.
I decided to take it slow and learn to play, and hopefully gain some confidence by playing the lowest limit.
No reads on my opponents.

I'm getting decent pot odds to call, but mini-bet on turn and push on the river makes it look a big hand.

Unless he has Q and he is check-raising me, he most likely has a missed flush draw, or a smaller pair, right?
Are the any second best hands that he would call with?
How is the size of my raise on the flop? Too small?
I am pretty clueless how much I should raise in certain situations. Are the any good rule of thumb?
