SB posts SB $0.01, Hero posts BB $0.02

Pre Flop: (pot: $0.03) Hero has A♠ J♦

CO raises to $0.06, fold, fold, Hero calls $0.04

Flop: ($0.13, 2 players) J♣ 3♥ 4♣
Hero checks, CO bets $0.06, Hero calls $0.06

Turn: ($0.25, 2 players) 7♣
Hero checks, CO bets $0.08, Hero ???

Spoiler

Hero calls $0.08

River: ($0.41, 2 players) T♣
Hero checks, CO bets $0.44, fold
CO wins $0.39

Q: Should I raise the small turn bet?
A: Absolutely. When he bets the turn small here I should take over the initiative and 3x the bet on the turn for value and, depending on the river card, bet for value on the river as well. As played I should fold to the overbet against this normal player on the river.

You want to raise on the turn and not on the flop ?

Yes. The turn he bets 1/2 pot which is still big enough to call. Once he bets smaller, I think we can safely get more value with a small raise.

No, you don't want to raise at all. Your hand strength is not good enough to raise for value. By doing so you will only isolate yourself against better hands. This time he might have hit a flush with his one club hand but that doesn't mean you played it badly.

We cannot raise here as we will isolate ourselves vs better hands (flush, 2p, sets). River is a good fold so you have played this one well.

Well played.

If you had position you could think of raising that low bet.

What do you expect after a raise? If he would fold, would he have bet the turn at all? If he calls, do you have the best hand? If he raises, you know you are toast.
