I'd certainly bet more out on the flop and turn...much closer to the pot than half the pot. Betting 4 on the flop and 10ish on the (new) turn basically forces him to call a shove if he's raising your turn bet.

As played, I think this reraise is fine. I might even shove here, repping a semi-bluff.

Yes I'd definetly bet more on the flop. I wouldn't be worried about milking a few bucks from him if he doesn't have much of a hand. My goal is to make the most I can from him if he has ace or better yet an underset.

If he has an ace, he'd likely call 3 and probably 4 on the flop so go with that to try to build a pot.

Same deal on the turn, bet more, maybe 3/4 pot or so.

It looks like your weak betting induced a raise though, which is good, and I like the reraise here. He folds, so it seems like he was just attacking your weakness and probably had some mid or small PP. It's doubtful you would have made much more from him by calling so I think you took as much as you could from him.

Bet more preflop, to 2.50 or even 3 if you think he will stand a bigger raise. Otherwise as per the other guys, whether you bet big on the turn or try and c/r depends really on his aggression factor. I think you sucked him dry here.
