I really want to hear opinions on my flop and turn play. I like bet/folding the flop and betting out just didn't seem to make sense.

I like c/c the flop to keep the pot small.

As palyed, I think you should call the tiny turn bet.

I´d consider folding pf. These hands will often be trouble OOP in a family pot.

c/c flop is good. Keep the pot small.

turn is really close IMO. I fold.

I don't like checking the flop tbh. Gotta get some kinda feel of where we are. c/c will keep the flop the same size as if we bet and villain calls.

Preflop is ugly, but thats party for you. I play it the same.
I bet/fold flop.
Defbet turn small, like 300ish. Villain seems to be donk, so you should get a feel of his hand strength from his reaction (minraise=AA AK AQ flush, call= AQ- KK QQ JJ FD...). Should be in relative good shape vs his range if he flat calls turn and no club hits.
