Flop: (5.50 SB) 2/images/graemlins/club.gif, K/images/graemlins/heart.gif, 7/images/graemlins/club.gif <font color="blue">(5 players)</font>
<font color="CC3333">BB bets</font>, UTG+2 folds, MP1 folds, <font color="CC3333">Hero raises</font>, CO folds, BB calls.

Turn: (4.75 BB) 8/images/graemlins/club.gif <font color="blue">(2 players)</font>

I would raise PF. Other than that, ok. The river is scary based on the action - or rather, lack of action, which screams "draw" in my mind. You could check the river with the intention of calling, but that seems weak. If you are going to check &amp; call, might as well bet.

I raise it preflop. Other than that you played it well.

He couldn't check-call the river, he was the last one to act. I agree with everyone on the play though, raise pre-flop, and play the rest exactly like you did.
