Just want some general thoughts on how I played this hand, if my flop and turn play was standard or not.

1. I would NEVER cold call with K6 there.
2. You have a crappy kicker so raising on the turn is a bit crazy.

I am glad that I would get out of this hand preflop since it is very hard playing it when a K flops because of the bad kicker.

[D.H.]

Oh, sorry, I didn't see that you had posted a blind.

Ouch. Raise the flop, not the turn. Raise the flop when the bets are small to find out where you are. You're not gonna get the flush draws out even with a double bet on the turn, so find out if your naked king is good in this pot before putting in a good amount of money on the turn and river.

I don't like it. If I raise this hand, I raise it on the flop so I can see what the button thinks of his hand. Most of the time, the guy will 3 bet (easy muck) or fold (woohoo!); if he cold calls, you just play much more carefully.

Raising the turn isn't a great idea because you're either way ahead or drawing to 3 sixes.
