If you're going to raise preflop make a real raise ($1.25). Calling flop is fine, bet the turn when he checks to you. I think you can make a thin river vb here. You've got the best hand around 99% of the time.

Bet the turn, $4.50ish. Hes probably on draw anyways,Put him in on the river, but I don't mind the check on river so much.

I would probably check the turn as well. I would make a small value bet on the river seeing as he checked to you.

As played, bet $4 on the river.

Maybe a little bit aggro, but i raise this flop to 5$. I bet again 2/3 pot on any non A/K turn.

This is almost always a flush/straight draw or a 7. So i would have bet around 4$ on the turn. When he checks on the turn i think you can get value from a 7. Like 1,50$. Not likly he´ll check 3 sixes on the river
and if it´s the draw you unleast don´t have to show what you held
