We have a draw, and second pair. We miss so much value by not betting turn.

On this river, after betting turn, you can just c/f (calling tiny bets) or b/f small, though I'd lean towards c/f against a guy who seems a bit passive, as he's not going to float two times with air planning to bluff.

Against other opponents (which fold tens), we will be betting as a semibluff with this hand instead.
