Just moving up to 50NL ... villain was not really aggressive just playing the hands as they came. Overall the table was pretty passive. I called primarily because of boredom at the time (I normally would chuck this hand but ...).

Question: I bet 3/4 pot on the turn card now that I had 2 pair. Was that enough? I assumed villain had paired the K and nothing more.

Texas Hold'em $0.50-$1 NL (real money)

Seat 1: I_Told_U ($50.80 in chips)
Seat 2: Hero [ 5S,QH ] ($54.65 in chips)
Seat 3: Villain ($69.05 in chips)
Seat 4: Blufhaas ($50.55 in chips)
Seat 5: dDAP ($46.15 in chips)
Seat 6: poks4dols ($46.40 in chips)
Seat 7: zephyrman25 ($8.00 in chips)
Seat 8: hustlerama ($14.30 in chips)
Seat 9: FNC1 ($20.90 in chips)
Seat 10: Neo-Lee ($46.50 in chips)

ANTES/BLINDS
Hero posts blind ($0.25), Villain posts blind ($0.50).

PRE-FLOP
Blufhaas folds, dDAP folds, poks4dols folds, zephyrman25 folds, hustlerama calls $0.50, FNC1 folds, Neo-Lee folds, I_Told_U calls $0.50, Hero calls $0.25, Villain checks.

FLOP [board cards KC,7H,QD ]
Hero checks, Villain checks, hustlerama checks, I_Told_U checks.

TURN [board cards KC,7H,QD,5D ]
Hero bets $1.50, Villain calls $1.50, hustlerama calls $1.50, I_Told_U folds.

Two low pair is very vulnerable, but the pot is only $2. 3/4 should be good, but since there are 4 in the pot, they can give each other odds to call. I usually bet just like you did here, but it might make sense to overbet the pot, since you almost definately have the best hand so far.
Check out my self-deprecation here!

3/4-full pot is fine.
