    I take it you had A2o? In that case, I bet closer to full pot on the flop with the idiot straight and a drawy flop.

    On the turn, I could go either way - betting has the advantage of not giving a free card but checking has the advantage of pot control. As you played it I would bet the river a little harder, say 1/2 pot or so.

    I would bet the flop a bit harder, and I think I would bet the turn about 1/2 pot but I can see a case of checking it as well

    I think on the river I am check-calling, the 7 is the worst non club card for you, I havent played the low buy ins for a long time now, but it is very hard to get a call from anything you beat on this board the way this hand was played

    I would bet all three streets and fold to a raise on turn or river, shove over on the flop.

    river is close. The have been so passive it's hard to believe we get any bluffs plus they either already had a made hand or got there. But either could have made two pair on the end.
