Was I being a pussy for not value betting the river? Had no read on player to left as had just joined table. Third club was what spooked me....

UTG+1 ($2.33)
MP1 ($3.79)
MP2 ($4.48)
MP3 ($.26)

Preflop: Hero is SB with 7, 6.
UTG+1 calls $0.02, 2 folds, MP3 calls $0.02, 2 folds, Hero completes, BB checks.

Flop: ($0.08) 4, 3, 7 (5 players)
Hero checks, BB checks, UTG checks, UTG+1 bets $0.02, MP3 calls $0.02, Hero calls $0.02, BB folds, UTG calls $0.02.

Turn: ($0.16) 5 (4 players)
Hero checks, UTG checks, UTG+1 checks, MP3 bets $0.18, Hero raises to $0.36, UTG calls $0.36, UTG+1 folds, MP3 folds.

I'm going to value bet this. A third club doesn't scare me here, if it comes a heart I'm a little more worried but I think you certainly have to try and get some value out of this.

 easy value bet. You cant count on villain hitting a runner, runner flush. You need to raise the turn more, im thinking to $.60 so you can get more money in on the river. Value bet $.65 on the river as played.

actually, i dont mind the minraise on the turn here. but, when i see the guy to my left call cold...

you need to ask yourself how much will he call?
what will he raise with?
if he raises, could he be bluffing the flush, if i bet weak on the river?

you need to bet strong enough that if he raises, it means something...not just sensing weakness. but you need to bet small enough he will call with an overpair. imo, about .75.

however, i prolly stack off here, too, because of the runner-runner nature of the board...unless he has shown me he has no regard for pot odds and will chase any flush.
LHE is a game where your skill keeps you breakeven until you hit your rush of random BS.

Nothing beats flopping quads while dropping a duece!

I'd like to meet Jesus. Not because people claim he was the son of god, but because he could turn water into wine. A man like that is good to know, because you never know when you'll need a bottle of wine or an extra nail.

Another heart completes the flush draw and it's a lot more of a reasonable holding for UTG.
