I tried to take down the pot on the flop or should I bet smaller to get value and hope he doesn't catch anything better than I have?
About the turn, I'm not sure what to do, if I bet 1/2pot I'm already committed so I just shoved.

Hi,

Bet smaller on the flop. Board is so dry, that likely you´re ahead 90-100% of times, so you don´t really have to bet that big to get all the money in the pot till river.
I´d bet 0.2$ on the flop, then half pot on the turn and shove river.
Since 5x is blank and Qx now only has 2 outs to beat you (like all the other pp-s) I´d bet again small to 0.4$ to then shove river.

Although you´re pot committed it is better to keep in his wide range to earn more money and make impression that you have there air or AK that might b/f

I advise PF 3Bet biger ~ 0.24$, smaller odds to call, and on Flop when villain call pot size, bet it is a clear sign that he was hit this flop.

On Turn, I probbably check behind, get to show-down, call a small bet on river.

Hello Krishjanis,

Preflop: Why do you 3bet so small? Do you want him to give great odds for set-mining? At least $0,24 should be the 3bet and maybe even a bit bigger while he is calling us anyways if he is loose enough.

As played
Postflop: Could consider betting smaller so give him room to Call with weaker PPs as well. But obviously it ain't that huge problem anyways.

Best Regards.
