No reads. like 4th hand at the table. Is just calling the flop okay?

Should I be betting the turn?

Obviously the river is a check.

Raise flop to 45.
Put the rest in on the turn.

[Imagethegod]

I don't like calling here, either raise it or push

also bet a bit more on the flop

forgive me if i don't know what the hell i'm talking about (and NLHE is new to me, so usually this is the case) but by pushing the flop, won't he pretty much fold all worse hands and call with all better hands? i'm thinking that this can't be good

edit: and the only worse hand we really wouldn't mind him folding would be T9. all other worse hands are drawing pretty slim

bet more on the flop. value bet the river.
