So i was playing a 1/2 nl live game the other day at Turning Stone and my table was pretty donkish, besides one guy who was obviously very good. Kid to my left was early 20's pretty cocky, fairly tight player, but made some wierd calls and obviously thought he could push the table around. my image was extremely tight. painfully tight, not even sure that I played a hand until this point. The following hand i just want some feedback on.

utg raises to 7
utg+1 calls 7
utg+2 calls 7
fold
fold
c/o calls7
button calls7
Hero ($75) (6h,7s) calls 6
Villain($100ish) calls 5

Pot $49

flop 2c Jc 4s

checked around to the bb who bet 15
folded around to me in the sb, i call(idk why, i just couldn't see giving up such a big pot)

pot $79
turn
2c jc 4s 5s
hero checks, bb bets $15, hero all in for $43, bb folds

my thinking was that I could get him off of top pair probably, and if not i had 8 outs to a straight. Also if an overcard or scare card came i could bluff successfully. with such a dry board, i'm not sure how he folded. he later told me he laid down kj. He obviously didnt know much about pot odds because if he did he would realize the pot was laying him 4-1. besides my wierd call on the flop, does anyone think my play on the river is ok? In supersystem, Doyle has a situation he explains that he sometimes will call a bet on a board of aj2 with 9 10 hoping an 8 or Q comes off and he'll get get his money in and try to make his opponent fold. I guess this was the basis for my play

 It's honestly really hard for me to think much further than preflop because I can't understand what you're hoping to hit in the SB with only $75 in your stack. I don't really know if I have the place to say that your call is bad given the odds you were getting, especially because I don't know how your table was playing at the time. But I really am curious: what is your plan (post flop) being short in the SB with 67o?

It doesn't really sound like you had a plan. The board came down 2 clubs with no draw/no pair for you, yet you still called a bet. Would you stack off with any pair? Would you stack off with a strong draw? What kind of flop would it have taken for you to fold your hand?
