Re: Protecting your hand at .5/1
I would have bet all the way, but I like your thinking. The problem is, he's getting 9:1, even with your c/r, so he'll pretty much be able to justify calling anything here if he has a gutshot, BDFD with overcard, you get the idea.
Do NOT call the flop, and c/r the turn. If the turn gets checked through, you just missed out on exploiting an equity edge on one of the expensive streets.
Good turn bet, and value bet on the river.
