How to play this spots, do you bet? If bet how big? Small, big, mayby overbet. Mayby check raise?
He checked on flop, with something with value on showdown. He can easly call our small bets, with bigger bets, it can be more difficult.
How to play on various rivers? On what cards do you continue aggresion or what do you give back?

Preflop and flop
Very standard.

Turn
You picked up a draw, and you literally have no showdown value, so bluffing with this hand is almost mandatory. And since the pot is still small, I go on the larger side of the spectrum like 2/3 pot. I want to set it up, so some of his marginal made hands fold if not now then at least on the river.

River
If you improve to bottom pair, I would check, since you probably have just enough showdown value against some A high hands or maybe 22-33, but if he bet, I would usually check-fold. If you improve to a flush, I would bet for value, and on any other card I would fire the second bullet as a bluff. A good rule for river play is, that if you have the worst possible hand (bottom of range), and you can credibly represent some hands for value, then you pretty much has to bet as a bluff.
