NL50 , QTo from SB, straight on turn
 

Hi, this is my first post here.:)

My opponent is 57/19/2 after only 20 hands
I think only my turn bet was correct in this hand.
(check or make a PSB on this flop ?)
How much would you bet on river, and what to do after his re-raise ?

I like the flop. You set your own odds this way, make your straight more disguised, and have the chance at picking up the (small) pot right away.

Turn is perfect.

I like the 1/2 pot bet on river. I push over his raise. I think that villain has trips much more often than a boat here. If he had a set or two pair, he would have raised somewhere in the hand.

Bet $1 on the flop.

The rest of the hand you played well.

Welcome to the forum. You might want to check out the FAQ in the small stakes forum if you haven't already since there is a bunch of great posts stickied. For this hand I'd say bet a little more on the flop and push river. You mgiht be beat but him having trips is more likely and this type of villian isn't folding.
