Final Pot: 9.75 BB

All seems pretty standard to me except the turn, should I bet when checked to like that (against an unknown opponent)?

Not against an unknown at this level, I like it vs a highly agro player though.

You don't like the bet? His check seems not fishy but defensive. He's scared of the K and left jam mode to enter call down mode. I don't hate the bet, but I can respect checking behind. Seems standard.

I would bet this turn against an opponent capable of folding two pair or against an unobservant opponent who won't slow down with two pair even with a possible straight out there.

I think we're losing quite a bit of value vs random 1/2 players who will call down with anything. Being weak at the knees just because the boards scary isnt a reason to give a free pass to random pair hands. However, vs someone who will bluff or fold, or after bluffing fold the river, this is a nice little line that I like.
