I really wanted to raise the turn...

but what worse would call?

Assuming I'm not drawing dead, should I keep up the pot control, or make these guys pay to see the river?
If so, how much to bet?

Small sample β€” < 50 hands
SB is playing 40/7 with AF of 4
CO is playing 37/22 AF 0.5

Pacific Poker - $0.05 NL (6 max) - Holdem - 4 players
Hand converted by PokerTracker 4

BTN: $7.20
SB: $0.81
Hero (BB): $6.36
CO: $5.00

SB posts SB $0.02, Hero posts BB $0.05

Pre Flop: (pot: $0.07) Hero has 4♠:5♠:

CO calls $0.05, fold, SB calls $0.03, Hero checks

Flop: ($0.15, 3 players) A♠:5♦:K♠:
SB bets $0.10, Hero calls $0.10, CO calls $0.10 <<< yeah, bottom pair and extremely weak FD should I have folded here?

Turn: ($0.45, 3 players) 6♠:
SB bets $0.10, Hero calls $0.10, CO calls $0.10

River: ($0.75, 3 players) 5♥:
SB bets $0.10, Hero calls $0.10, fold

I would raise the turn for value and protection with the flush. Villain is really short and you want to isolate the short stack.

Hey Vorpal. Awful play on every postflop street. Raise flop. You have enough SPR to get away out of your hand on the later streets, if you face aggression. Your hand is decent if not strong. As played raise turn. You have clear raise otr.

I dont understand why you are so timid to bet your medium strenght hands. You miss so much value that way. Play them little more aggressively. You cant make money in poker by betting like 1/25 of the pot. ;)

Flop is fine.
Turn vs a min bet is definitely a raise for value and protection here. You also are vs a short stack (you want to get it in here vs this guy), and your hand is alot stronger as you are playing on a 4 way table.
River is also a jam vs this villain.
Don't overthink it! πŸ‘

I think the hand is played well, it's just that you forgot to raise to take the shorty's stack or double him up.

Quite simple β€” I have no clue how to play Hold'em. :coolface:

Next question:
How big to raise the turn?
OTR I should have just shoved, I know...

To .30 , .40 should be enough. I forgot to mention that you need some sort of protection on the turn. You risk see 4th spade on the river that might kill your hand and if not it will be hard to extract some value.
