Final Pot: $8.60
-------------------------

Villain was roughly 20/7/1.5 from memory. I look back at this hand and can't believe how bad it looks. I should have bet on the turn about $5? If he re-raised to $10 call and check fold the river?

What do you guys think please?

turn bet looks like a blocking bet (without any reads) for a AcX or TPTK. But can't really blame you for going for pot contol on this one.

This does look like a blocking bet of sorts looking for pot control with a T or club. I'm all for pot control, but you can't just assume villain has club flush here. I'd lead turn here for 4.50-5.
