Villain is loose/passive as is the table for the most part.

saw flop|saw showdown

UTG ($35.70)
UTG+1 ($29.20)
MP1 ($4.15)
MP2 ($15.10)
Hero ($25)
Button ($27)
SB ($23.65)
BB ($8.10)

Preflop: Hero is CO with Q, J. Hero posts a blind of $0.25. SB posts a blind of $0.10.
4 folds, Hero (poster) checks, 1 fold, SB (poster) completes, BB checks.

I probably should've raised this coming in;8 handed folded around to me on the CO QJo while not my favorite hand(I'd prefer QJs but anyways) is still ok in position against a weak SB player.I make the call though;SB calls,BB checks.

Flop: ($0.75) K, 8, A (3 players)
SB checks, BB checks, Hero bets $0.6, SB calls $0.60, BB folds.

Granted I only have a gutshot(cause I can't presume my Queen or Jack is live due to the Ace and King on board),but betting will allow me to take some control of the hand;perhaps even take it down there.SB has checked to me in position so I lead out a probe bet of .60 into a .75 pot.SB calls.

Turn: ($1.95) T (2 players)
SB checks

SO I made my hand,SB has checked again.How much to bet in order to entice a call that is +EV long term?

anything between 1-2 is fine, i'd probably bet 1.50. this isn't really a big deal, either he calls or he doesn't, small differences in bet size aren't really going to change what he thinks of his hand.

Since he's still in the hand on this board, it's likely that he has a weak ace or a weak-mid King...so he's not going to pay you off anyway. Betting closer to the $1 mark than the $2 mark stands the best chance of keeping him around - maybe a pot overbet like $22.85, but I doubt it.

just bet $1.50
