Put him on a straight draw so wasn't sure if I should just double barrell here or check back and hope he hits the straight on the river

Yeah SD is likely but not his only holding. Definitely charge him on the turn, he'll fold the river when he misses his draw which happens 4/5 of the time, whereas he'll pay a decent chunk on the turn very often.

what you reckon optimal bet size is here? like 1/3rd of the pot?

As much as they will call. It's a micro and you've less than pot behind, you could shove here frequently but it's ok to bet whatever and leave yourself a river gaybet if you think a shove is too much. Don't be surprised if they fold to the power 1/8th pot river shove either.

Generally at these stakes you should be trying to GII by the turn on drawy boards. The amount they are willing to pay to chase a draw drops dramatically on the river, can't think why.

Think if betting turn I would bet supersmall , so your opponent still has all 3 options left.

PS didnt see it was 50c maybe my comment is useless there.
