    Default Small pot for a small hand or is this just weak?

    Didn't expect this many preflop callers...I flop top pair on a draw-heavy, potentially painful board...so I elect not to lead the flop and build the pot when I don't know what's going on yet, and if I'm called I won't know whether I'm ahead or behind...
    Then the 40/8/1.2 after me decides to weak-bet it, and then everyone else folds...
    He could have a straight draw, flush draw, Jack, or Kx.
    I decide to lead the turn in the event that he is simply drawing...I expect to be raised by the Jack and called by anything else with this player. For whatever reason I'm putting him on KQ, but that could be overly hopeful.
    River completes every draw so I check.

    Anything massively wrong with this line? Anything I might lead on the river would not be a very effective amount...

    I felt like I weak-tightied this but I don't like to go broke with 1 pair on this kind of board...

    i would bet probably 7 or 8 on turn, but other than that your thought process is good
