Default $6 NLTRN: Playing trash in an unraised pot

This is about the 7th hand in, but my read on my opponent is that he's somewhat loose passive. A few hands ago he had called my 2/3 pot CB with KTo on a 4-Q-3 rainbow flop. I only fired on the flop and then he checked down after calling. So I concluded he's somewhat loose with his flop calls and a bit passive.

Should I have just not gotten involved in this hand since the pot is so small, or is my play okay.

You played it fine .

You bet on the flop with a probable best hand . On the turn you continued with your aggression by leading out with your draw .On the river you check-folded because you have the second lowest pair with a weak kicker .

Thanks a lot for your comments. I just started playing HU SNGs, and I'm often in this situation (pots where my opponent open-limped and I check with trash). I'm glad to see that I played this correctly.
