    Default Bet sizing question--drawing value from monster hands

    SB is VPIP/PFR: 23/13 over 60 hands, and has 50% fold rate on each street (50% fold to cbet); not a very large sample, so I'm just considering him a normal player. First--I haven't played in a while, and I'm thinking I need to reevaluate having played this hand at all, but that isn't really my question.

    Given my hand and the flop, how do I size the bet here, as he started at a 49 BB stack, given his stats?

    (Note: I'm not expecting much play out of the VPIP/PFR: 8/7 BTN with 65% fold to cbet over 800 hands, and relatively low AFq post flop.)

    Really I'm trying to get value out of draws and medium pair, while building the pot. . . I'm just not sure of the sizing.

    Merge - $0.04 NL - Holdem - 7 players
    Hand converted by PokerTracker 3

    CO: $16.13
    BTN: $1.14
    SB: $1.96
    BB: $4.32
    UTG: $8.24
    Hero (UTG+1): $4.00
    MP: $3.71

    SB posts SB $0.02, BB posts BB $0.04

    Pre Flop: ($0.06) Hero has 5 5

    fold, Hero raises to $0.08, fold, fold, BTN calls $0.08, SB calls $0.06, fold

    Flop: ($0.28, 3 players) Q 5 J
    SB checks, Hero bets ??

    I guess in general against a moderate, fairly passive villain, my general question is how do we draw value on boards that might be scary to the hero come turn or river.
