I would make it .50 if you just want people to stay in - if people can relate their bet to quarters, it seems to work better. That said, the turn is going to turn most people off and they won't bet unless they have the nut low, so I think you are fine.

[chenshack]

I would probably bet it to a little under a dollar, maybe .80-.90 because I don't see a lot of people letting it go for that much, but with those short stacks I don't think youre guaranteed anything

[terminal]

From what waytalented had it really didn't matter what you bet he was probably going to raise it anyway. I think you raised a good amount though.
