This is a hand from a .50 - 1 cash game 6 handed table on stars today.

No real info on villain but I have been tight and aggressive. I am sitting on $120, villain is on about $90.

I am on the button with  and the UTG limps for $1. The others fold to me. I make it $5 to play.

The small blind and big blind both fold, UTG calls.

Flop comes   

He checks, I bet $11. He check raises the minimum to $22. I call

Turn is  giving me the straight.

He checks, I bet $19, he calls.

River is  .

He checks. I checked behind fearing the full house.

He mucked       for the straight on the flop and then the idiot end of straight on the turn.

A few questions. Did I bet too much on the flop? Should I have bet the turn? Should I have checked the river?

From where I'm sitting you played it fine.  He didn't though.

His check-min-raise is a strange play (as is his play pre-flop really, but some will disagree).

Pre-flop and flop bets are good.

As you asked, you absolutely 100% have to bet the turn. However you should probably have bet a little more, as usually any hand that is going to call your turn bet is getting great odds to do so.

Betting the river is a little more subjective, but generally it is worth a value bet here as anyone with a FH will have bet into you 90% of the time. Often in this situation your decision should be made depending on your read of his hand strength- which can't be gauged from the hand history alone. An experienced player can often read a lot from the speed of his opponents' actions- which is a lot harder to disguise than it looks. (I personally believe it is much easier to get a read on an opponent at the cash tables than it is playing a tournament.)

I think you played it well. If you were to bet the river then you'd have to be prepared for the reraise and make your decisions on how big a bet you'd be prepared to call. I'd have done the same as you and checked the river.
