I think you played it perfectly. I am a little confused by the combination of his preflop and flop calls, but his turn explosion followed by his willingness to bet the river even though the 3 paired convinces me that a checkraise on your part would be a bad idea. I think the important river choice is whether to donk when the 3 paired. Unless can narrow his hand to specifically two pair or a pair plus a draw (and I certainly can't), then checking was better than donking in my opinion.

For what it's worth, I would have played the 75 hand exactly the way you played it. Although I never play heads up, in a 6-max context I would also have taken a passive line with the K9 hand although I am usually in the minority when it comes to similar situaions. Can you explain your reason playing the K9 the way you did?

Thanks,
