ZOOM 10NL Challenge Day 2 Hand 1

Blinds: $0.05/$0.10 (6 Players) BN: $22.54 (Hero)
SB: $7.05
BB: $5.77
UTG: $13.63
MP: $12.95
CO: $12.76
Preflop ($0.15) Hero is BN with 7 T
2 folds, CO raises to $0.25, Hero raises to $0.78, 2 folds, CO calls $0.53
Nitty blinds, wide CO opener with >50% F3B, led me to expand my 3b-bluffing range to T7dd in this spot. Loose, yes, too loose, no?
Flop ($1.71) 2 5 3
CO checks, Hero bets $1.02, CO calls $1.02
Not ecstatic about this Cbet. Can't be horrible either. Fold Equity probably enough to make the EV's of checking and cbetting similar'ish.
Turn ($3.75) 2 5 3 K
CO checks, Hero bets $1.18, CO calls $1.18
This is where it gets interesting. The king is a way better card for me than for villain.
Now I have basically three options:
Check
Bet small
Bet big
Normally I either check or bet big in this spot, yet when I considered betting small, intuitively it made a lot of sense to me. On this card I most likely have quite a big range-advantage. Betting small allows me to valuebet way wider (denying equity) than a polarized bet. Will run a simulation later on in PIO to investigate if the small betting option is effective in this scenario.
River ($6.11) 2 5 3 K 4
CO checks, Hero bets $1.92, CO folds
I think IF I'm betting, I'm ought to bet small. I want to make villain indifferent with non-straight hands, not letting him fold everything besides Ax. And if he still folds all non-straight hands, I benefit with printing money bluffing hands like this.
