After both players turned over UI Ax's, it made me feel foolish for folding!

I would have bet the turn and river.

Flop okay. You MUST bet the turn. This happens a lot-people will bet the flop with not much then check the turn. If you are check-raised, I think it's hard but at .25/.5 I'm calling down. I don't think you'd get that much action on the river if you'dve bet the turn but in your shoes I'dve called--UTG only has 50 cents left so you close the action.

Villain limped in UTG+1. Usually this is either some weak suited connector or a monster. By the turn you have obviously ruled out a monster so I'd have to put him on something pretty weak.

Could he have hit his club flush? Sure, but your Tc would probably hold up if another club hit the river. Keep up the pressure on the turn.

The other thing is that Villain is just about out of chips so you may as well showdown the hand for 1 more bet while maintaining an image of strength and confidence.

Bet the turn - you can fold to a re-raise and if they both call I would check the turn through as one of them would probably have a weak queen. Your check on the turn induced a dirty bluff.

I didn't notice you had the Tc - I would call a turn reraise and fold UI on the river against a turn raise.
