Any reads on villain?

This spot kind of sucks because villain only has like ~$4 left behind.

Maybe bet $2 on the flop instead and then 3.75 on the turn, putting villain allin?

As played I'd probably bet/fold $2

I like your sizing preflop. Now you want to bet more on flop so your decision on turn is much easier.

What I would do on the turn depends on villains stats/infos we still have to get but actually I like the flop bet as it is. I mean....villain is drawing to 3 and in most cases to 2 outs. Remember, since the board is paired a K-Turn gives us still a better two pair vs. KQ (if this is in his range) and we have blockers (and are already way ahead of a hand like AQ). Also there are no draws out there so why betting nearly pot and shut out 77-TT (if these hands are in his range)?

Yeah sorry, I'm pretty ****ty at mental math early in the mornings. A bet of 1.75 would probably be better, and still set you up to get stacks in on the turn with a reasonable bet.
