I was planning to check-call on the river after the King came on the turn. I was a little scared that someone held a King w/ low kicker and would raise me if I bet into them again on the river. Did I miss out on a bet on the river? What would you do if you were raised after betting on the river?

My opponent thought for about 20 seconds after I bet into him on the flop. I put him on an Ace w/ a decent kicker. Probably did not hold a club. Should I have bet into him again on the turn and see if he would fold or not? Or was my check-fold on the turn appropriate?

How was my play here? I was very scared on the turn, but I still chose to bet into them because I felt I had good pot odds to river a full house. Is there anything I should've done differently?

Hand 1: Well played. Check/calling the river after your turn bet was called is the right play here. It's very unlikely that a hand you beat is going to call again, and you may induce someone to bet into you with a 7, 5, or even Ace high.

Hand 2: Folding probably isn't horrible with this small pot, out of position against a pre-flop raiser on a board that has missed you by just over a mile. If you had a specific read on this player (e.g. he would play KQo or JJ this way if 1 of them was a club), you could maybe fire again on the turn. Maybe this time he'll think for 20 seconds and fold. If he calls, you can check/call the river unless a 4th club or something else horrible falls. I'm least sure about this one, and it's the kind of hand that usually gets me into trouble. You probably lost less than I would have.

Hand 3: I'm check-calling the turn, and check-folding the river unimproved against 2 players.

1: bet the river
2: bet the turn. how can you check and fold the turn? I honestly can't believe that you'd fold here
