Only 30 hands on villain so far.

saw flop|saw showdown

Button ($22.25)
SB ($35.60)
BB ($45.80)
UTG ($29.75)
UTG+1 ($25)
MP1 ($23.05)
Hero ($50.30)
CO ($23.30)

Preflop: Hero is MP2 with J[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], K[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img].
UTG calls $0.25, 2 folds, Hero raises to $1.25, 1 fold, Hutchy(ire) calls $1.25, 2 folds, UTG calls $1.

I raise it up and get 2 callers which seems to be the standard at this table. I'm looking to cbet here, hoping to take it down, or flop something juicy and possibly try to get stacks in if I hit 2 pair/straight/combo draw.

Flop: ($4.10) K[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], J[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], 4[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] (3 players)
UTG bets $2, Hero raises to $6, UTG calls $4.

I hit 2 pair and get donked on the flop (this seems to happen a lot, so I raise it up again. I'd do this with less than 2pair but villain probably doesn't know that)

Turn: ($16.10) 5[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] (3 players)
UTG bets $4, Hero raises to $43.05, UTG calls $18.50 (All-In).

After the villain donks again I put him on either a badly played AK, AsKx, K-x with no club, made flushes, sets, and randomness. I thought a call would be okay here, but thought that after raising flop, calling the turn would look weak and villain could push me out on river shove, and if river is a club, I'm puking.

River: ($61.10) 6[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] (3 players, 1 all-in)

Final Pot: $81.65

What's a better line here? Raising more on the flop seems to be a good start, but then what? Thanks [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
