Hand converted with online PokerStrategy.com hand converter:

Play hand

$0.5/$1 Fixed-Limit Hold'em (5 handed)

Preflop: Hero is BB with 5:c, 6:c.
MP3 calls, 2 folds, SB raises, Hero calls, MP3 calls.

Flop: (6 SB) 7:c, 3:s, J:d (3 players)
SB bets, Hero raises, MP3 folds, SB calls.

Turn: (5 BB) 4:h (2 players)
SB checks, Hero bets, SB folds, Hero gets uncalled bet back.

Final Pot: 5 BB.

SB is a PokerStrategy TAG, MP3 seems to be a fishy calling station (57/0/0.5/55, 30 hands).

I raise the flop to push the station out of the hand. Even though he likes to peel a lot, this flop is really dry and he is likely to not have anything. My play looks like a Jack or at least some lower pair to SB, so I have some instant FE against him, too. I have a gutshot and BDFD, which make the raise easier as I don't need so much fold equity.

edit: i misread your description. just pick out the accurate points and ignore the rest. your play is good : )

basically i like your play. that board has very often missed sb's range and is quite dry, that your opponent basically put you on a hand and not on a draw. problem in that hand is, that your opponent haven't yet at least raised 1hand after 30 hands. that means that he is likely to have a real good ace or a pocketpair. with a pocketpair he won't fold anyway and with AQ or AK, he will at least see the river and sometimes fold, but often call. not for nothing he is a callingstation and investing 2,5BB being uncertain whether how often he folds the river or if he folds at all, is too speculative and i would rather call the flop and fold to the turnbet. but against a tag, i like that play!
