$.50/$1 NL 6-max, and I don't have the hand history. The big blind is a pretty mediocre tagg.
Folds to me in the small blind and I limp with A-3 offsuit, he raises to $4 because I limped (I noticed he did this the past couple times I limped in this spot), I call. Flop comes 8, 5, 2 with two clubs, I check, he bets $6, I raise to $18, he thinks for a bit and calls. Turn is a 3 of clubs (I have no club), I check and he checks also. The river is another club. Bluff or not? What about the other streets?

The turn is a good spot to bluff; his range still contains plently of overpairs that will fold to a turn bet (you can definitely represent a flush).
I don't think betting this river is very good. He could definitely have a club in his hand and it would take a big bet to get him to fold some of the weaker clubs.

I probably should have bluffed the turn. I wasn't sure if he was raising because I was limping so I just limped again this time to make sure (figuring maybe I could take advantage of this later).

u can use that info but u have no advantage calling a raise with a3o.. 3bet him or raise his blind with something that has ptential instead.
u can use those $18 u put in on flop better against him pre flop. or lead the flop u'll do the same as 3beting with air but u risk less.
if he is not calling station and ur mad with solid image then 1/2 pot turn-shove any river.

I'm not sure a river bet makes any sense here. What hand am I representing? Not that he is necessarily thinking that deep anyways, but he might be.

A lot of players play a made flush on the turn this way (checking turn and betting river). You have to bet the turn here to see how much he likes his hand.
