I only had three hands on villian before this, so no real reads.

at these stakes, c/c a decent sized bet on turn (nothing big) then making ablocking bet on any non club river for about 1/3 to 1/2 pot folding to ANY raise. As opp limped UTG, Qx is definetly in his range but also so is two clubs Axclubs in particular.

Ive faced this situation several times at 20NL, and what I will frequently do is make a pot sized bet on the turn, representing the Ac or Kc, and if he calls im expecting he will call down on river and will frequently check the river card, and I will fold to any raise. Calling is obviously the wrong way to go on the turn or river, so I like taking the lead and betting, and then folding to any playback.
I think the flop raise is decent, if anything it could have been a bit larger.
Thats just my two cents on how I would have played it but ill admit im stumped when this happens as well.

potting the turn is bad, betting the turn isnt horrible but not so hot when we are oop. lets get into good habits early.

Thank you for those responses.
I have an additional question on this hand.
On the turn I checked and villian bet all-in, $3.80. Do I call, if not what is the largest amount I call?

normally id say against any short stack donk, you felt any tp/overpair type hand, id take that as a rule too.
However, i just get the feeling in this hand donk would have raised all in on flop with tp as they normally do.
As played (with stack sizes making so much difference) i call the push.
