I don't think folding pre is bad at all. As played I call the small turn bet and reevaluate river.

You called a reraise with a raggy hand (I don't blame you for it), flop almost nuts (only 3 hands beat you at this stage)... What else were you looking for? You should have a plan before calling... I would have raised flop clearly.
I understand your trouble now. Looks like Villain didn't like the turn either. I just call and hope a J a 6 or a 10 hits.

likely he has 2 outs, or maybe u 3; i think i call turn, and shove most river if he checks or bets small, probably only a call when he bets bigger

What did you put him on?? Im sure he didnt RR you with KQof clubs or with AT or A6, So at best he has pocket 66(I do not think he would RR you with that preflop?) or TT(But again why would he RR you preflop with that?,.. I can not put him on the Flush..(flush draw with AK or AQ at best) , Most likely he is holding AK(RR preflop) or AQ or AJ. with K , Q or J high flush draw. If you ask me what I would do...I do not know...But I know you are not against Full house or flush. My bet would be that he is holding AK (king of clubs)

Fold pre IMO. You don't really wanna be seeing flops with 3 bets in front of you with a crappy hands.

Well, i see no need for the timebank here. Just go all in, you pretty obviously have the best hand here. If not, case in point of why to fold pre.

Agreed. Folding pre is the way to go on this hand. As played, raise flop, look to get it in here.

fold pre. as played, raise flop. as played shove turn.

it's hard to see him making that weak ass bet if he was semibluffing the flop. that club was a pretty good card for you because your play is consistent with the flush draw and he really seems to be scared of that.

so, like i said shove, but understand that by doing so you are essentially turning your hand into a bluff most of the time; nobody's calling with anything you beat, but you MIGHT fold out AK or AQ.
