I'm worried that I'm pushing the wrong edges. This particular player was a little loose passive preflop, but seemed to tighten up significantly postflop.

Final Pot: 5.25 BB

I don't know what I would do if he called the turn bet also. I suspect I would check hoping that it would be checked through and I don't know if I would call if bet into.

Is this sort of play costing me money in the long run? If it is, what should I be doing in this case? I did note the player's tendencies when I decided to go for this play.
