First is should raise preflop a little larger. 8-10bb
Second always be with a full-stack of 100bb on the table.

I would bet 70-80% pot on the flop to fold flushdraws and possible straights.
Turn betting for value. great.. Villian is not raising.
The minbet on the river would be a fold for me. On NL2 the fishes almost never bluff.

Agreed about pre-flop.
The pot is 6, so minimum 8 (the pot plus the size of the last bet)

I would check back the river on a double-paired board.
Your showdown value is good, but too many hands beat us. <<this may be mathematically incorrect, but it is lower variance
