Hi guys played an interesting hand the other day at a 2/5 NL table and would like some feedback on the way I played this hand.

Starting stacks:
Hero: $500
villain: $244

3 players limp including villain in MP, the SB completes, and Hero checks in the BB holding 4:club: 8:spade:

The flop comes: 4 8 6 rainbow $25 in pot

SB checks. Hero bets $25. Villain and MP2 call.

The turn brings a blank J $100 in pot

Hero bets. Villain calls and MP2 folds.

The river brings a 7 $250 in pot

The river completes some straights and other 2 pair hands that could be in villain's range. I just sat down at the table "my third hand" so I have no info on villain. At this point Villain has $139 behind so would you just shove here or check fold if villain shoves?

Thanks for the feedback guys!

Ask the dealer to count villains stack.

Bet the exact amount the dealer counts. :).

I don't really get the bet sizing, particularly on the turn. You can't really turn your hand into a bluff at this point with only less than 140 left in opponents stack. No reads, etc... I think I check/fold. If he had a little bit more behind, I'd probably shove and hope you can get some better 2 pairs to fold.

Check folding here may be a little bit too weak...
