A general rule of thumb is that when the villain (or you) have a stack that is close to the current stack size you should just go all-in if you want to bet.

for example, If I want to bet turn when potsize is big as that I would often just put a villain with $2.1 or less all-in straight away.

Interesting hand. I guess at this level there is no valuebet on turn. I wonder if you can turn this hand into a bluffcatcher versus an aggressive villain or not. Guessing a villain with 1 A.F wouldn't be floating enough or betting worse valuehands enough for that to be possible.

In the end I think I C/F turn, pretty looking hand but not actually that strong (9high FD, 2 nut outs, 2 set outs). On the other hand I may put in a very small value bet river to get value from worse pairs if he checks behind. Wouldn't be expecting him to check back too many better hands on that board texture.
