I didnt know alot about this guy other than that he was loose, he was playing about 50 % of his hands and didnt seem to raise much preflop. He was quite new at the table.

Was the flop bet too small? Note MPs stacksize...After his turn bet he has only $47 left

Yes cbet was too small - against a normal stack I like a cbet of 40-45ish, but since he's short it's tough. I would check and see what he does. There's not much of a draw that he can be on. On the turn it's a judgment call... if he's passive and bets I might fold, if he's known to bluff I might c/c a non-A, and c/c or c/f on the river depending on whether he bet the turn. If he's a complete donk a half pot bet on the turn works too to tell you where you're at (and sometimes get value), though don't do this against anyone who isn't a donk.
