I think my betting was fair until the river here at best..Their play was very passive then a shove comes from nowhere. Can I be calling this? What have I done wrong/right here? The straight was always in my mind but with 10/K, so I think it slipped that he may have a low end straight..Equally he is in the wrong to play this out to hit that also, so it's hard to pick up on. Although it's expected at such low stakes!

Please leave opinions/suggestions on this.

Thanks!

I would have checked the turn (pot control) and Check/Call the river, from where you stood.

But this is how I would have played. I'm assuming the same play (villain check/call)
I would have made the pot $0.20 pre-flop (3X BB + 0.5 {2x SB} for the two limpers). Assuming the same number of player called, Pot $0.85, I would have bet $0.45 on the flop (usually 50% pot). I would have been called by Player 2. Now the pot has $1.75, the turn comes a blank, and here I don't want to go crazy and control the pot, so I would have checked. I'm assuming Player 2 would have made a bet on the river (since I checked the turn), so here I would have just flat called. The only time I might consider folding is when Player 2 makes a huge bet (like shoves on the river).
