I was wondering if anyone could give me some insights on this hand.
The oRaiser was a nit (first hand he played in 4 orbits).

I know I missplayed the river. Since he would never call me with worse there (and definetly not push me with anything I beat). So I should have just flat the river I think.

But what is the best line to take here when he doesn't cbet.
I always tend to think they have the nuts or air when nits do this.

I figured he had air and i checked behind to let him catch up on me.
Maybe I should have raised the turn? And what if he stacks on me then?

Stacks:
UTG LuSeve ($101.50)
UTG+1 Hero ($135.80)
CO thechr4sh ($203.40)
BTN Hermstick ($113.40)
SB Bubba Kahlua ($85.60)
BB vanyuk ($101.50)

Pre-Flop: ($1.50, 6 players) Hero is UTG+1 5♥ 5♣
LuSeve raises to $3, Hero calls $3, 4 folds

Flop: 9♦ 10:heart: 5♠ ($7.50, 2 players)
LuSeve checks, Hero checks

Turn: Q♣ ($7.50, 2 players)
LuSeve bets $5, Hero calls $5

River: 10:diamond: ($17.50, 2 players)
LuSeve bets $13, Hero raises to $42, LuSeve goes all-in $93.50, Hero?

Why not raise turn for value? Villain does not have KJ if he is such a nit, so we have the nuts unless TT/99/QQ.

I like to bet the flop when villain checks to me. That way we can bet our air too. If he checkraises, great, we're getting it in! Remember, you're calling a speculative hand against a tight player in order to stack him when you hit your set. Theres no point slowplaying it when that happens - otherwise you wont get stacks in and your preflop call becomes -EV.

I think raising the river is ok, but once he shoves we are mostly beat, so we should be folding. He can still call with AQ in my opinion - though maybe raising to $30 is probably better for that purpose.

Bet flop for value!
If he has air you will most likely not get much value even if he hits something.
So we should try to build the pot vs the hands he is willing to call with.
As Tim mentioned balancing is also one thing to consider.

As played I also agree with Tim: raise the turn for value. He has some Jx in his range that can pay (and if they don't we still protect) and there are some Qx that are definitely not folding.

As played on the river he does not represent a whole lot, QQ is about the only hands that a nit could possibly show up with here.
So I'd actually consider raise/folding this although sitting at the table I'd probably raise/call every single time.
After all he could show up with an overplayed Tx.
However, once more I like Tims suggestion: raising to $30 is probably better because he's more likely to call Qx type hands.
