My NL expereince is SNGs, but I'm getting sick of them, so I tried some ring games tonight.

Villan seems fishy. He's definately too loose, as you can see he open-limps, and he's overly fond of the min-raise post flop (with, for instance, bottom two pair on a flushy/straighty board).

I can't really explain why I played like this, but I guess I had an intuition that he might be pissed I didn't let him limp in. I didn't like giving a free card on the turn, but if I am ahead, I thought it might have the side benefit of inducing him to bluff at me again on the river. I don't know.

I'm not sure why I'm posting this, or what part I want criticized. NL is really very read-dependent "you have to be there" kind of play, huh?

I probably would have pushed on the turn. Taking the chance that he actually beats me right now. The point would be trying to avoid the situation where I have to think "where am I at" yet holding a winner while doing so.

Villan had KJo. I got lucky that he didn't catch his 6 outter on the river. But it's hard for me to agree with pushing the turn, because I can't envision a better hand folding or a worse hand calling?

What if he called preflop with KQ or AQ? If he had KQ, he might be worried about his kicker, but he will probably call anyway...
