villian is a 20/5 after 60 hands

i underbet the river because it looked like he was drawing and now at most has a pair

If you read him to be on a draw your play is good up until the river, where you should check call or check raise.

EDIT: Checking the river would depend on his aggression factor though.

I actually like the river underbet here. Its small enough that the nut club draw can make the crying call. I assume you plan on calling if it gets raised?

Limping A To second in from MP3 is laggish? I limp that and I´m VPIP 15.5. I must be doing something unusual.

Hope it worked out. Betting the A aint bad because he might have Ac.

Checking to induce a bluff can be good here too (if villain is the kind who likes to bet with busted draws)

I don't like checking as well here because the river was an ace. If villain is on the flush draw, he likely has the ace of clubs and will frequently check it through and hope he wins the showdown. Even people who often bluff busted draws won't bet here because they might be able to win by checking. Had the river been a deuce, I like the check to induce a bluff a lot better.

villian called with T2

which made me wonder if thinking he probably had a draw was right

A lesson to all of what happens when you try to be smart with 2 pair on the flop.
A raise by villain on the flop and/or the turn would probably have taken the pot.
