I know my betting sucks, but I would like for some help on how to bet the hand better such as how much should I have on the river to scare him away out of his two pair?

Raise flop, bet turn, c/f river unimproved

Raise flop to 18-20. Bet closer to 3/4 pot on the turn.

hes not folding his 2 pair unless a 4th club rolls out or you significantly overbet the pot, which would be stupid becuase then youre handing out free money
