This board kinda screwed me, but that's poker.

I folded the river because at best I was splitting, and I was most likely losing. I stuck around till the river in hopes the board would pair.

Good fold guys?

not sure why you bet the turn. You are pretty much screwed there, i might check/call in hopes of getting a boat.

I'd call the turn and check/fold the river.

I'm not sure why I did either. I have to learn to check-call on real scare cards like this one.

Your bet wasn't atrocious, you have ten outs to a boat.

Yeah but with 3 opponents and me not having a club, it was almost certain that one of them did.

If I had check-called this and paired the board on the river, should I have tried to check-raise Button, or not risk it?

It looks like a good spot to do so.

You're contributing 1 bet for a 1/4 share of 22 (including your bet) bets, which is 1:4.5. Does this pot not split 1 out of 4 times?

I don't think so.

The 2 on the board indicates that the pot likely won't split. One of the players likely has a higher club, so the board won't play.

I don't think I'm good here 1 in 4 times, with 2 calls in front of me on the river.

Out of random hands for the four others, we've got a 20.8% chance that no other player has a club. When you consider in any circumstances the higher significance of a player who sees the flop seeing the river with any club, this is an easy lay down.
