Your preflop raise size is a little too much imo. I'd usually raise 3x here, 4x at the very most. On the flop, you should raise. You don't want a card coming off on the turn that is going to kill your action before you can get some money in. If he has something like 2 pair here and a 9 for instance comes on the turn, he's going to be wary getting in a lot of money, but if you raise the flop he may be willing to get the money in with his 2 pair, because it's going to be hard for him to put you on specifically 9, 10.

What are you doing with an $18 stack in a $25 game? Reload, please.

Is 5bb preflop raise standard for you? That's unusual.

Raise on flop. Too many card can kill your action on turn.

I smooth call it and take him on the turn.... If he's bluffing, you'll probably scare him out with a raise. While yes you might get a card that weakens your turn bet, odds are better that you won't...

That is a dream flop for you. Assuming you've been stealing, the call could have just been to protect his BB with a lesser hand though, so the payoff might not be really big.
You're main objection is to get as much $ into the pot as you can, and letting him see a fairly cheap turn is fine as the flop isn't that scary.

Has this guy made tiny bets ($.75 into a $2.60 pot) before? He's either wants to see a cheap turn or he thinks he has a better hand and is begging for a call.

In either case, you have to raise the guy. I'd keep it fairly cheap though. maybe make it $2. If he was willing to put $.75 in to see the turn, he'll probably put another $1.25 to see it now that the pot is bigger.

Ideally he'll re-raise us with a set or TPTK or OESD (with us holding one of his outs) and we can stack.

Call(or miniraise) and if turn is safe, then make 2/3 pot bet or raise if he bets. Call shove. With this hand I'd get out some value of the guy. Ofcourse you can also raise here to take the pot down right here.

Are you guys really advocating slowplaying on an action flop? Anything this co-ordinated, and the fish will almost certainly have something worth seeing the turn with...

I raise this to ~$4.00 every time. Fish at this level will call with a hand like T8, so let them call the largest bet possible.

Good flop for you! No flushdraws etc.
You raist pre- flop and hit on flop..BB bets..I think you can check here..He thinks that you have a bighand because your raise on flop.. he have also a nice hand on flop I think.. He bets so low.. It's not a potsteal from him... He hopes you raise and put more money into the pot..

Here's what (I think) Sklansky would say: villain has App. $16 remaining in stack. You've got to get that $16 into the pot before V. realizes he's beat. To do that, get 1/2 in pre-river, and 1/2 in on river. Break up your pre-river bets into two or three chunks. In this case, you've got .75 already in. So raise to $1.5, then get $2 and $4 on either his re-raise or turn raise or your turn raise. Like this:

Villain bets .75
Hero raises .75 to 1.5
V calls .75
TURN
Hero checks
Hero raises $6
V. calls $6

Not saying this is how I would play it, but this is how, generally speaking, Sklansky says to play it...depending, of course, on many other factors re: villain and your hand playing history etc.
