Start off with a questionable limp. Hit a semi-miracle flop except for the clubs. Immediately my train of thought is I'd be happy just taking this down now and make an overbet of twice the pot, surprised to get both callers and I'm ready to throw my cards away if another club appears.
The not so good 5 appears, but its not a club so I'm happy to bet half pot (I know veriz has been telling me to bet 2/3 pot, i'm working on it!). Again, both call.
Final card looks like I dodged a bullet with another non club card. To explain the small turn bet, It's because I saw that CO had 20 cents left. I thought there was a chance it'd look like a bluff, and get both callers again. BB shoves and I snap call. The possibility of a straight on this board didn't even occur to me.
I'm not complaining about the results. It happens. I'm just looking feedback for my flop play. Was the overbet a bad idea? Was the limping in small blind a bad idea?
