Spoiler

MP wins $2.57

I decide to bet small on the river, I don't think his range is very strong on the turn. An ace will be a scare card to a lot of his range as well as the clubs completing which is either a scare for him or he hits it. So betting small kinda extracts value from his weak range and saves us $$ when he raises?
This correct logic or am I dumb:f_cool:

I think this look fine. River raises are often super strong especially when they come from a limper. Flush completes and we can't always exclude slowplayed 44,99,46,96 and so on. He can also limp pre with AA sometimes.

yep nice play. Maybe its good to noticr that is not always a good donklead on flop because if you get check raised then you have to fold a pair with a lot of backdoors.

First, this is not a donk. At least I would say donking is leading against a preflop aggressor and since this is a limped pot villain is not the aggressor. We can just take the initiative here. Second thing is that we can't get check raised because we are OOP. Third, we don't have to worry about being raised too much. Villain limped and is likely very passive, if he now starts raising I would be pretty confident in saying we are beat.
