Meh. Being OOP sucks. But if I play this, I think I C/R the flop.

Are you joking?!?!?!? You fold the SB for 5 chips with 66??

To fnord: I think I bet a little bit more on the flop to try to build a pot - if he calls 30 he probably calls 50, which will make the pot larger for later streets.

I like your turn bet, but I often check here.

When you checkraise the river, why only a check-minraise? It just reeks of strength. Plus if he has 2 pair he's calling a push anyway so I think you are leaving chips on the table.

No, it wasn't. I'm tired, and have had a pretty lousy day. I meant that my line would have been to CR.

Really goofy. I bet more on the flop, but who cares; this line's fun.

I normally check call rivers where likely draws missed, figuring the busted draw my bluff, but won't call very often. With this board, I'm totally not fearing any sneaky big hand and am trying to squeeze a little more out of him. I probably check raise too infrequently on these rivers, tending to lead or check call with slightly scarier boards/action. I probably should have made it a little more.

I usually lead between 1/2 and 3/4 pot. K high ragged flops are the most likely to get folded around if bet, so I was really just hoping someone would stay with me and hopefully raise. As it turns out villain had K/images/graemlins/spade.gif Q/images/graemlins/diamond.gif, so I probably could have gotten a lot more out of him. I really figured he had weak diamonds or maybe something like A8s. As it turns out, I think he played the hand really well. I'm sure he felt sick when I c/r'd the river, but that's very hard to lay down for 150 more.
