2/5, 7 handed, $1.5k effective with the main villain. Villain is fairly new to the table, but seems to be loose and slightly more passive. I highly doubt villain is paying attention, but if he is hero would likely have a TAG/nitty image.

$20 from LJ, villain calls CO, loose passive calls BTN, unknown calls SB, unknown calls BB.
Flop ($100): J

. X to hero who bets $35 and only villain calls. I know in theory this is almost certainly a check, but that seems to be missing out on serious value live. Also, this spot obviously doesn't exist in theory.
Turn ($170): T
. Hero? Again, this is almost certainly a check in theory, and I think it's way closer than the flop, but I think we have to bet this spot live. Would you go small or big? Why?
