your half pot bet on a flop like that is giving ur opponent huge implied odds to bust you on the turn with a 58s, 89s, 45s, etc..or a club draw..
Yeah but those implied odds only exist against weak players.

If you make a pot-sized bet on the flop, you essentially give him better implied odds, since you commit yourself to the pot. On the river the pot would be $50 or so, how can we get away from that hand then...
