Do you think that bluffing on the river here would be a profitable play. MP2 plays too loose preflop and is very aggressive after the flop.

Also, are there some other ways I could have played this hand?

Ultimate Bet No-Limit Hold'em, $.10 BB (9 handed) converter (http://www.selachian.com/tools/bisonconverter/hhconverter.cgi)

MP1 ($15.41)
MP2 ($18.18)
MP3 ($4.50)
CO ($1.15)
Button ($7.68)
SB ($3.23)
Hero ($11.45)
UTG ($9.40)
UTG+1 ($4.80)

Preflop: Hero is BB with 6/images/graemlins/club.gif, 2/images/graemlins/club.gif.
UTG+1 calls $0.10, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, MP2 calls $0.10, MP3 calls $0.10, CO calls $0.10, Button calls $0.10, SB completes, Hero checks.

Flop: ($0.70) 2/images/graemlins/spade.gif, K/images/graemlins/club.gif, 4/images/graemlins/club.gif <font color="#0000FF">(8 players)</font>
SB checks, Hero checks, UTG checks, UTG+1 checks, <font color="#CC3333">MP2 bets $0.5</font>, MP3 folds, CO folds, Button calls $0.50, SB folds, Hero calls $0.50, UTG folds, UTG+1 folds.

Turn: ($2.20) 7/images/graemlins/heart.gif <font color="#0000FF">(3 players)</font>
Hero checks,

right here MP1 says something like "What, are you slowplaying 24? You should call then."

I did not know how to take this.

<font color="#CC3333">MP2 bets $2</font>, Button folds, Hero calls $2.

By now I was fairly certain that he just had a pair of kings and a crappy kicker.

River: ($6.20) T/images/graemlins/heart.gif <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>

I really thought about bluffing here but PTs "Went to SD%" was about 30% so I chickend out.
Hero checks, MP2 checks.

Final Pot: $6.20

you think this hand has no merit? why? I thought it was interesting.

i think this is interesting. there are very rarely "should i have bluffed here?" posts.

i don't like a bluff here. you have a little piece of the board, so if the guy was on a flush draw or naked bluff and is going to give up, you'll win the pot anyway. if he has anything at all, this will probably be one of the 30% of SD's that he sees.

if i were to bluff here, i would do it with a hand that had no chance of winning a showdown, like 3 /images/graemlins/club.gif5 /images/graemlins/club.gif. but against this guy, i would probably just give up with that hand as well.

That 10 doesn't complete a draw or anything... it's not scary in the least.
