Bet $5, so he will call you with an ace.

He doesn't seem to have anything. Plus if he is a real moron he may raise you with nothing.

As you not only don't have the nuts but don't even have the 2nd or 3rd nuts, I would recommend betting $5-$8.

The arguments I can think of for this move are:

1)The pot isn't that large so an overbet seems like less of a scary thing

2) opponent is very passive, not much fear of him raising here.

3) I often see 30/4 opponents who also don't fold often postflop. It isn't necessarily the case here, but the hand was checked on the turn...perhaps this fish could convince himself you're bluffing.

At the same time, villain is very likely weak. I think a 7 or 55 or maybe A high calls $8 here but not $20. If I had 67+ here with different action I just push.

His hand does not look strong enough to call a push. Calling a push will most likely get him to fold. Your hand is also not very disguised.
