I just wanted some comments on the hand as to how it was played. Villain is 20/7

I call the PF raise because I have a drawing hand in position. The flop is money, but it looks like a weak c-bet from Villain. I want to minraise so that the other guys don't have odds to call but Villain can call to try to catch an over card. I realize here that I should have made it at least 1.5. After the flop play, I think my turn play was OK..After his call to my raise I was done with the hand. Thoughts?

Raise flop harder. Any club, 7, 9 or jack will kill your action and/or your hand. Bet river.

Some days it feels like I've been standing forever, waiting for the bank teller to return so I can cash in all these Sklansky Bucks.

Minraise on the flop sucks. Make a pot sized raise. And why are you raising the turn? Just call and hope to showdown cheap.

jackvance is an unknown quantity at this point

Bottom straights are a bit tricky. I'd play them more aggressively when you are ahead. Don't know why you raised the turn though, your action pretty much got killed there..
