I know i am going to be critized about my small bets... but villian had been doing a lot of calling and is passive i raised PF to try and take the pot down right then w/ a couple of limpers which i think is standard... villian is 74/0/1.. I don't know why my hand isnt showing up but i had AT of clubs and I am the BB

Why are you betting $1 on the flop/turn?

[holdme]

raise to 1.5 pf
pot flop
you can call turn because of implied odds. (i think) although your hand is face up.

Raise more preflop, I would make it 1.50

Bet the whole pot on the flop.

Bet 2/3 of the pot on the turn.

As played I would fold here. While you have 12 outs on the turn I don't think your getting the right price. Also I wouldn't crai because I think you have very little fold equity.

You're never folding out anyone or building a pot by betting $1 on the flop/turn

Betting to give yourself odds to draw if someone raises isn't a good idea, you'll end up losing lots of money if you do this.
You're betting as a semi-bluff, you want to be able to take the pot down without having to hit your draw and to build a pot so that when you hit your hand you can get paid more.
