I'm calling the whole way because I can't tell if my hand is good, horribly behind, or on the river, if I'm way ahead.....lmao. Even If I re-raise at any point he's probably going to try and get all the chips in considering what he had. Fold river?? I just literally had no clue what I was doing there, none. Help?

Fold the flop. You only have 6 clean outs (if you aren't already beat by a flush).

I'd fold the river for sure, but that is a tough flop. I think calling the flop there isn't bad if the player is supper aggro, look him up, I don't even think the call of the turn is that bad (based on that also), but the 3rd barrel on that board I'd have to let it go. Did you have any reads on the player?

See the turn and fold to a bet on the turn. Pick a better spot. You have a lot of chips no need to get fancy.

Like previously posted for all you know you could be drawing dead to an already made flush who is afraid of you holding the ace of clubs. But in most instances a made flush would likely bet more on the turn when the 4th street is not a club. So that technically eliminates a flush from his hand (based on previous playing history) but even still its not worth making that "read" because its not profitable in the long run.

i didnt even read the other posts but i would have folded there.

This is a pretty crappy spot but I probably would've played it the same as you considering it's a $1 tourney and the play is so bad (as is obvious by this guy flating with QQ pre).
I don't mind the call on the river, it's only 600 more and sometimes, though I'll admit rarely, I think you'll be good.
