Disclaimer: I'm not familiar with excessions rules. To me, weak tight means that he's playing mostly premium hands and calls too much postflop. Furthermore, I've never played .05/.1 NL...
Also note that I suck at NL and am just learning myself.
Preflop: Fold, Im not calling a tight player,even if he is weak postflop, with 56s even on the button for 4.5x headsup. If a few others had called, I'd think about it. If he makes it 3x, I'm probably in, but not 4.5x. The whole idea of implied odds shrinks. He's not even playing a full stack... only 4/5 of one.
Flop: Fold, call,and raise are all 'meh'. I really don't like any of them. Probably why I wouldn't want to play for so much preflop headsup against a tight player. I think raising is probably best. I raise to $2/$2.25. If he calls I'm done with the hand if I don't improve. The nice thing is that you can take the free card if he does call. (I believe if he calls he has you beat 95% of the time, 5% he has AK/AQ [prob AK] of clubs)
Turn: His weak bet is probably real weakness. That doesn't mean he doesn't have an overpair that he won't laydown, but he's scared. A big raise here might take it down. Im a bit biased though, I assume players at this limit don't like to fold overpairs ever even in spots like this. I honestly have never played that low so I don't know. Still though, I feel like this raise is a bit small. Pot raise would be like $3.50, I probably make it $3 here if I'm going to try to move him off his hand.
River: $6.50 pot, he's got around $5 left. Honestly I just don't believe he folds here. He might. If you bet and he folded, I really believe he had AK/AQ clubs.
Also note, assuming I got into that spot on the turn, it makes the river play a lot easier, since he'll have less to call into a bigger pot, which means he is almost never folding unless he has the AK/AQ/whatever of clubs and no pair/straight. In which case, you still win by checking behind.
