Final pot $17.20

Only a few hands on villian... he just sat down. Does this look fine? Either wa/wb right?

Why not push turn? Dont want to scare him off, or think he has something better already? It looks a lot like 2 pair to me.

River looks fine, he could easily have the str8 by then.

This HH is kinda screwy... he didn't raise $5 more, he made it $5 total, so a min-raise on the turn... does this change anything?

This could easily be 2pair or AK, along with a straight/overset.. Is there anyway to extract the most from hands I beat and save money from hands that crush me?

He obviously likes his hand, a lot. Minraise at this level is a sign of strength, especially on the turn. Minraises on flop sometimes are a draw. The 3 obviously didnt help him, unless he had K3, Q3, J3 for the case 3. I think you have to pay off 9T AT here because of the high prob of him being on a pair + draw or 2 pair.

You did a good job of damage control on the river with the call. However that bet is screaming blocking bet hoping that you dont have an Ace yourself. That is making 9T more probable than AT. But also at this low level we see min bets to invoke big raises. Rarely do I see 1.20$ bets as that sort of bet. I still think he has 2 pair. If he has a QQ, JJ, or KK, gg him. He should have raised pf.
