To be honest I think all of your bets are too small and even though this was good for you in this hand, it's generally wrong.
Definetely thank villain for playing this hand horrible and not stacking you...

I don't see how villan got that stack playing like hands this passively.

And I would have made larger bets (at least 2/3-3/4 pot) to make sure I got it all in the middle by the RIIIIIVR.

Flop and turn maybe. But by the river I was a little suspicious of what he might have. And are you saying my 5BB pf bet from the button with 1 limper is small too? Or was that okay/too big?

I was just talking about the post flop bets, flop is fine.
If you've been a little suspicious by the river (BTW, why? He showed no strength at all.) then this small bet is ok I'd say though when you're were like REALLY suspicious, you would've checked behind [img]/images/graemlins/smirk.gif[/img]

I'm not sure either. I hadn't been at the table long enough to see his stack grow, but I did know that he was just passively calling a lot in the hands he got involved in.

Suspicious because he -did- call a 5BB pf bet. So when the turn came I had him on AK, KTs, QQ-TT, or 44. When no check-raise came, by the river I figured I probably had him and his AK beat (something in my head was warning me otherwise though), but since I had been betting about 50% of the pot on the flop and turn I didn't want to change that pattern and raise any flags in his mind.
