Halfstacking 100NL

I make it $4 with UTG+1
42/26 tourney donk with ~40bbs calls in SB

Flop comes

He checks
I bet $8
He calls

Turn comes
Pot is $25, he bets $25

He has like $12 left, am I shoving or just dumping it considering I have relatively little invested?

I don't think 2c ever helps him (42 vpip probably doesn't even have Q2 J2 32 out of position here) and two clubs usually doesn't pot out in this scenario.

He probably has a hand like JT or QT or KJ with a club and is getting it in anyways, so he thinks he might as well lead.

you do realize that the 2 of clubs completes the infamous 5 suit hand known as a flush. despite not being as powerful as a full house, quads, or straight flush. Despite these shortcomings it is stronger than, high card, pair, two pair, trips, and a straight.

Don't most players 2/3 pot it with a flush here???

I guess I am upgraded from "spewmaster" to "spew grandmaster"
