Re: Slow play best here?
Preflop limp is a no-no. Raise. If you had just raised preflop, you would have probably been able to stack him throughout the hand, simply because the pot would have been that much bigger.
On the flop, I like the call, since you are in position. Out of position, I'd 3bet this. However, on turn I think you have to raise. The turn was a good card for you, because it wasn't an overcard to a jack, so if he has a jack, he is probably still sitting pretty. I'd raise to about 1.2 or even as low as 1, just to get him to call.
As played would have been fine IMO if he made a real bet, showing that he's willing to get it in there. Like if he bet pot. I might have minraised in that case.
The river is a really [censored] card for us, since we've shown no real strength so far and then all of a sudden we are raising, it looks like we have a Q. This is why I would have raised his small donk on turn.
