Villain is reg, not agressive. I would like to hear ideas about all streets, because spots like this cause me a lot of questions.

Flop is good for villain range, but we have A clubs and gutshot and can put pressure on the next streets. Turn i did auto bet, but now im not sure about that. I think we have 2 options on the river - check-fold and bet 1/4. We cannot check-call here, because villain dont have a lot of bluffs here. If we bet 1/4 on the river i do not expect that he will be turn into a bluff his weak made hands, but maybe we can make a profit versus his weaker top pairs (AT) or some part of second pairs. Obv we can bet shove river and i think it is +EV, but check-fold or small bet are better here.
