Default 5NL -push this turn with one card straight+NFD?

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $0.02 BB (6 handed) Hand History converter Courtesy of PokerZion.com

saw flop|<font color="#C00000">saw showdown</font>

SB ($1.58)
BB ($1.54)
UTG ($6.74)
<font color="#C00000">Hero ($5)</font>
CO ($8.25)
<font color="#C00000">Button ($2.72)</font>

Preflop: Hero is MP with A[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], 7[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img].
UTG calls $0.02, Hero calls $0.02, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, Button calls $0.02, SB completes, BB checks.

I should probably be raising to .10c or folding here. Is my limp terrible?

Flop: ($0.10) 6[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], 5[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], 8[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(5 players)</font>
SB checks, BB checks, UTG checks, <font color="#CC3333">Hero bets $0.08</font>, Button calls $0.08, SB calls $0.08, BB folds, UTG folds.

I hoped to buy the button and get the option of a free card on the turn if I wanted one.

Turn: ($0.34) 9[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(3 players)</font>
SB checks, <font color="#CC3333">Hero bets $0.4</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Button raises to $0.8</font>, SB folds, Hero calls $0.40.

After reviewing my session I think I should have pushed here.

River: ($1.94) 4[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
<font color="#CC3333">Hero bets $0.96</font>, Button calls $0.96.

Does my river bet seem like the right size?

Thanks for any feedback.

Final Pot: $3.86

Raise pre-flop, raise the turn.

Turn is weak, but you figured that out. You will get less action on river when you hit, lets put in more money on the freeroll. If he has a 7, he will call a reraise here on turn. River is a meh card for you, bet the amount with highest expectation.

EDIT: Thought the flush got there on turn.

Assuming Villain has a 7 (and it sure looks like he does), a turn push is worth about $0.36 to you on those occasions when all he has is 7x. And that's assuming Villain never pays off anything on a flush river, which is a very unrealistic assumption.

If Villain happens to have T7 (unlikely, but you never know), a turn push costs you about $1.08 on average (edit: er, not quite that, really, since you'll be paying off whatever Villain bets on the river).

Meanwhile, versus J7, you're not completely on a freeroll (although you have an edge).

I think a turn push is probably a good idea, but I don't think failing to make that push is going to cost you massively in this spot. I mean, Villain will have T7 occasionally, and with such a well concealed flush, you should be able to get paid on the river by any straight when you improve.

I am kind of tempted to push on the river, by the way, but I don't really know how the limit plays, so I don't know if it's a good idea or not.

I would bet $1.85 on the river which is a bit more than putting him AI. Considering his stack he's calling it pretty much guaranteed with a lone 7.

IMO you missed out on a lot of value (~40BBs).
