I think you got lucky on the river.

Next time, give us some reads.

I like the part where you rivered a K.

Seriously, I'd probably bet the turn. There's a good chance that BB was just taking a shot at you on that ragged flop and he'll go away if you bet again. I think if he had a real hand on the flop he'd have been more likely to check-raise.

I don't even know if he got "lucky" here. BB is betting flop and then river. Looks like a passive KQ or K7?

I assume you are raising for a free card here. I like the raise, but I would lead the turn here. You are ahead often enough. I like the river raise as well. NH.

Villain is 31/8/1.9 Weak semi-tight after 650 hands. So i expected him to have me beaten on the flop. I didnt think I'd be right to fold it if he had me beaten, so I figured I'd try to scare him and buy a free card.

I'd have bet the turn as well. Checking the turn just (as we saw) results in BB betting the river. If we're gonna have to put in another big bet anyway, might as well put it in on the turn, where we might induce BB to fold.

bet the turn. you didn't raise for a free card since if you thought you were behind you ought to fold. you raised for value and to knock out a hand that could draw to beat you.

I like the turn bet better than the turn check. Other than that, I'd play it the same.

Bet the turn and fold to a check-raise. Weak-tights don't C/R lightly, but they are very likely to fold after the bet size doubles.
