Final Pot: $48

I thin i shouldve folded the turn, but played it like a calling station. I think i have to fold the river cause the only hand he can value betthere, or even bet at all , is the str8.

make a bigger flop raise, and bet more on the turn.

1st off, raise PF. I hardly ever (never) limp in when it's folded to me in the small blind. You are simply burning money. Any aggressive player will raise you PF, and you will be OOP for the rest of the hand.

2nd, lead out on the flop. As played, raise more on the flop ($4), and lead out for at least 3/4 pot on the turn. He could have a number of draws (like a 5) and could easily be raising a 5 (or FD) on this turn just because you look so weak.

As played its hard to know where you are at on this river, and i'd definately call here getting almost 4-1. Blocking this river for 13 or so may also be a good line.

I'd probably put the BB on either a 4 or a 5 after the raise on the turn, but either way, you're very unlikely to have the winning hand if you call his river bet. What hands could he possibly make this play with where your top 2 pair are good? Two random clubs not including the 4 or 5 of clubs? Maybe the 3 or 8 of clubs for a flush and gutshot draw... These both seem kind of unlikely based on his small bet on the end. If he really missed a draw, would he really bet such a small amount that you'd feel compelled to call?

Unless you have a read on BB where you think the pot odds justify a call because there is a 20% chance he is bluffing, then fold.

And as it's already been stated, you should definitely raise here to put the pressure on BB pre-flop. He'll likely junk a raggedy hand with a 4 or 5 in it if you do. If he does call, at least you can (hopefully) narrow his range a little bit (unless he always defends his blind).
