Good Value Bet Or Put Him All-in?

[delasoul 0]

I chose to play this passive although there was possible straights and flushes that could hit. On the river is this a good value bet here based on his stack or should I have just put him all-in and hope for a call? Also to be honest I wasn't quite sure where he was at although when I check raised the turn i figure if he had any hand he would be pushing.Full Tilt PokerNo Limit Holdem Ring gameBlinds: $0.10/$0.258 playersConverterStack sizes:UTG: $12.05UTG+1: $20.60MP1: $4.40MP2: $31CO: $30.75Button: $24.10Hero: $22.95BB: $10Pre-flop: (8 players) Hero is SB with 2 folds, MP1 calls, 3 folds, Hero calls, BB checks.Flop: :) ($0.75, 3 players)Hero checks, BB bets $0.75, MP1 folds, Hero calls.Turn: ($2.25, 2 players)Hero checks, BB bets $0.75, Hero raises to $3, BB calls.River: ($8.25, 2 players)Hero bets $4, BB calls.Results:Final pot: $16.25

I could make a case for raising preflop, but with short stack sizes I prefer completing.I don't mind check-raising the flop, but check-calling is too dangerous on that board. I like a c/r to ~$2.25. This isn't a good time to slowplay.As played, c/r turn to $4. That makes is easier to get the rest of his money on the river.On the river you can go ahead and put him allin. He only has $6 left.

Totally agree that I shouldn't have slow played this but I wanted to gamble a little bit here. I like to limp with pocket pairs as opposed to raising only for set value. That's probably a preference to the type of players people areYah maybe I should have just put him all-in here.He had 10,10 so if I would have check raised the flop and could have probably put him all in on the turn or river.thx
