Final Pot: 9.50 BB

yes, the turn bet might seem questionable, but i'm finding in 1/2 that i can pick up the pot more often than not if i fire another bullet on the turn. if called, i'd check/fold the river unimproved. i posted one of these kinds of hands before, where i was able to catch on the river only because the villain failed to play his hand properly. i wonder why people play their hands so passively and whine about getting drawn out. yes, i was betting the worse hand, and should lose 95% of the time. was villain right in only check/calling my bluffs here?
