    Default Simple bet question ... was it enough?

    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.

    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.
