Preflop and flop are fine, but I really don't like the check-raise on the turn. IMHO, a check-raise should be used when you've got a really strong hand and you want to extract the most chips from an aggressive player. But you've just got top-pair. I could understand a check-raise bluff at some levels, but at .5/1NL it's not likely to be successful (and I doubt it was your intent).
So instead, I'd bet ~25 on the turn and would insta fold if he came over the top. I'm beat by any 10, pocket queens, pocket kings, pocket aces, AJ, 9j, KQ, and am not really that far ahead of KJ or QJ..
