Re: How much should I have bet
If you got to the river the way you did, I would have raised it to about $12. You bet double the pot on the river... too much too late.
But your problem goes back to the flop (as you noted.) Don't you normally make a continuation bet on the flop if you raised preflop? If you raise preflop and he checks to you, you should be betting no matter what. And they should expect that from you. (I should mention, with 2 clubs on the board, you should bet because what if you gave him a free card and a club fell?)
You then would bet again on the turn like you did (but now you could have bet a little more... and hopefully, he checkraises you more)
Assuming you still got this far, your river bet would no longer be an overbet and he might feel a little more pot comitted.
