First hand at this table and I've not come across any of the players before. Micro stakes here and I've been using the 19-hand to keep me straight (low br).

Seat 1: barmaley71 ( $1.91 USD )
Seat 2: DenyGuess ( $5 USD )
Seat 3: tom_cod ( $5.88 USD )
Seat 4: Schleichi019 ( $12.05 USD )
Seat 5: Leahcim87 ( $4.98 USD )
Seat 6: cadavila ( $5.02 USD ) (Button)
Seat 7: players19 ( $4.92 USD )
Seat 9: bakal84 ( $13.62 USD )
Seat 10: Flanders_zH ( $2.95 USD )
Seat 8: PhoenixWolf8 ( $4.96 USD )

players19 posts small blind [$0.02 USD].
PhoenixWolf8 posts big blind [$0.04 USD].
** Dealing down cards **
Dealt to PhoenixWolf8 [ Qh 7h ]
bakal84 folds
Flanders_zH folds
Flanders_zH: nh
barmaley71 folds
DenyGuess folds
Flanders_zH:
tom_cod calls [$0.04 USD]
Schleichi019 folds
Leahcim87 folds
cadavila folds
players19 calls [$0.02 USD]
PhoenixWolf8 checks

** Dealing Flop ** [ 6h, 5h, 4d ]
players19 checks
PhoenixWolf8 checks
tom_cod checks

** Dealing Turn ** [ 2h ]
players19 bets [$0.20 USD]
PhoenixWolf8 raises [$0.40 USD]
tom_cod folds
players19 raises [$0.40 USD]
PhoenixWolf8 calls [$0.20 USD]

** Dealing River ** [ 8d ]
players19 bets [$1 USD]
PhoenixWolf8 calls [$1 USD]
players19 shows [ 6c, 5c ]two pairs, Sixes and Fives.
PhoenixWolf8 shows [ Qh, 7h ]a flush, Queen high.
PhoenixWolf8 wins $3.16 USD from the main pot with a flush, Queen high.

I really feel I played this too passively, I figured I was worried about the other guy having a better flush. Thinking on it, I'll say this worry has more to do with my BR not being ideal enough to lose a buy-in within the first few hands of a sitting.

What I'd like to know is when I'm in this situation, or something similar, what would be the best way of maximizing my profits?

Bet the flop for balance and to get the pot building.

With so many worse flushes, I think you have a river raise as I'm not sold by the call/donk line.

I think you need to focus a lot more on putting people on ranges and less on your ranges.

When betting for balance, is a half-sized pot generally acceptable?

In general a river call is weak, right? I'm basically saying that I don't know where I stand on anything and don't want to risk much either?

What would be the best way of me improving my readings? I'm finding that I am losing a lot of hands because I don't know where were I stand on a dangerous board.
