Default 2 pair on monotone flop. Value on river?

This guy was a complete donkey. His stats were 79/25/1. I wasn't sure what his UTG range would be, but I guess two clubs, or NFD was definitely in his range. Is there any value betting the river? I figured the only thing that would call me is a flush, and maybe Ax. And do we raise the flop? I think I might have missed out on lots of value in this hand.

I would raise the flop to a dollar probably. You get value out of a lone K[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] or Q[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] and your hand only has 4 outs to improve. May as well get money in now while you're good (before a 4th club comes)

As played, I bet 1.20 on the river and expect to be ahead a lot of the time.

Flop call is fine, but I raise the turn for value. You'll see a naked club or a weaker ace here often.

As played, value bet ze river.

Find a raise somewhere. Flop is probably best.

Value bet river for sure.

I don't think a made flush donks the flop, but a single club calls, so I raise the flop. When he checks the river, I think you miss a lot of value not betting. Obviously a flush calls you, but I think you get calls from enough other hands as well, and a flush probably doesn't check the river, either.
