Well firstly this is a limit forum and everyone's expertise here is limit, try the small stakes NL forum

That having been said...

Your flop bet is weak, there is $14.50 + blind money in pot and you only bet $4, you're givign him about 3.5 - 1 immediate odds on your bet (not to mention implied odds which are a bigger deal in NL). At this point you are probably way ahead the overwhelming majority of the time and you should be putting in pretty stiff bets (1/2 to 2/3 of the pot would be good).

Turn check is terrible. You are still probably way ahead and are just giving him free cards to beat you, you are granting him his pot equity for free (infinite odds to beat you in a pot you are currently winning).


River, his bet is completely bizarre, .50 into a pot of $22+, it looks bizarre. You should either call it or raise stiff.

You instead raise to $5 (which is still pathetic considering the pot size)

he then pushes all in, and you read it as an attempt to steal the pot and call.

No offense but this hand was played terribly.

No offense taken - I agree.

However, I had to put him on a range of hands and my guess with the check/call was AQ-AJ or JJ/TT. Couldn't put him on 55 with calling a 3x preflop re-raise then check-calling the turn and checkign the river. Didn't make sense. I tried to play his hand more than my own which got me into trouble.
