Your bet sizing is weird for sure. I would bet around half pot on every street.
Especially on the river. Now you miss a lot of value.

A 3bet pre-flop would be a decent option as well. Especially if he steals a lot from the SB.

I was trying to get him to CR on river with that small bet actually.

Well going for strange creative lines might be good sometimes but I myself do it only when I have enough info on the particular villain. Do you know anything about him? Had you seen him going crazy postflop? If yes then I get your thought process. If no then I dont see any reason for this line. Also consider 3bet pre as SDK said. But call is fine by me to. Bigger sizing OTF like 2-2,5BB would be standard. You generate more fold equity but you also build the pot in case you hit. Turn is the same.

As for river. From my experience if they raise turn and then check river it shows weakness or fear of the river card. Very rarely do I see check/raise on both turn and river. My conclusion OTR would be that he has something but is afraid of the flush. So definitely wanna make him make a mistake and bet large enough - 1/2-2/3 pot. If he is trying to trap you after all he is gonna check/raise anyway not matter your sizing. With this 1bb bet you just lose value.

It somewhat reminds me of my own hand from a few weeks ago:

Here I had information on the villain that he goes crazy when you check to him anywhere on the way. So instead of 3 barreling I just checked to him after hitting my nuts and got 150bb from him. If I had bet the river, he might have just called. The point being that I did this only when I had the info. The standard way would be to 3 barrel.

Those bets are not creative, they just make you play like the fishes do. Bet normally.
