half pot bet on the turn, call his push, hit your club on the river.

Gotta bet turn, makes it easier to call his raise. You're 4 to 1 against hitting flush on river (less if he's got two clubs, but oh well), and your getting better than 3 to 1 for your money when you call his turn raise all in.

While I do think that you should bet the turn, this is only part of the rationale. The other important fact is that it is typically for value, since there are many worse hands that can call here without odds to improve, and you might not get them to call if you do hit your club on the river.

As played, you gotta fold.

this is horrible logic. so lets say I have K2 preflop and I know my opponent has KK, should I bet 90% of my stack so I am priced in to call his raise?

so why aren't you betting 90% of your stack every hand?
