I think most would raise this 6 handed; I did not hear. My style is a little looser and more passive preflop than I think most here. This is certainly up for debate.

On the flop the min raiser has at most a pair almost all the time. I sincerely doubt an overpair. The board is relatively drawless, so I don't mind keeping the pot small.

The turn picks up more draws, should I raise here?

I felt his most likely holding on the river was a weak pair which would have trouble folding to such a small bet. He would have to fear the straight and would not be able to value raise me; this is an easy fold to anything but a min check raise.

Thoughts?
