5-10 holdem game on party. I feel like I don't know when to be aggresive and when not to be in certain situations. Let me know what you guys think.

LMP calls, folded to me in BB

I have K /images/graemlins/club.gifQ /images/graemlins/spade.gif. I raise. LMP calls I figure that i might as well raise cause the pot is heads up and since he just limped in I most likely have a dominant hand.

Flop T /images/graemlins/heart.gif8 /images/graemlins/club.gif3 /images/graemlins/spade.gif

I figure this is a great flop to bluff with 2 overcards heads up after raising him preflop.
I bet LMP calls.
Turn 7 /images/graemlins/club.gif
I bet again LMP calls.
River J /images/graemlins/club.gif
I check, LMP bets. I fold.

Thoughts?

I think the flop bet is routine. The turn bet seems like such a desperation bet though.. Call me a weak player, but I would consider checking and folding to a bet on the turn. There isn't much money in the pot, and you're betting out with two overcards. Seems like grasping at straws. I put the opposition on JT or somthing like A8.

anyone who limps in LMP could very well have the mindset to call down to the river with an ace or crappy draw, and I don't want that to happen. I bet the river if I'm betting the turn

Sometimes I find it's worth waiting to be aggressive. Why not check pf and c/r the flop and or the turn? This is a play I like to make 'cause it can scare the chit out of your opponent after being lulled into thinking you're just playing out your "free" hand.
