Is this standard? Opponent was unknown as this was my 2nd orbit at table.

I was completely lost when he flat called me on the flop. What do you typically put your opponent on here? I would think TP would raise. A flush\straight draw is obvious, but straight draw would only be a gutshot (not ruling it out).

On the turn, I figured with my stack (small, yes I should've rebought but still experimenting, might move down not sure I can beat this game yet), that pushing was the best option. If I assume I'm ahead here is it better to bet like 1/2 the pot to commit opponent? I guess that's better on a safe board and I should be pushing on a board like this?

Is this very standard? <font color="white"> </font>
