Did I finally get it right

After a couple embarassing hand postings yesterday, I thought I would post this to see if you guys would have done the same

Comments on all streets welcome
Thanks,

Nicely played.

The only thing to have considered would be just calling on the turn because there's a chance that the King improved him and if so you need a heart or an Ace to improve, in which case you want the CO to stay in since improving usually means you'll beat both of your opponents here.

If he has you beat and he re-raises you, then you aren't making money on your raise. Not that it's incorrect, just that raising isn't clearly the best play.

Thanks. The reason I raised was since he bet on the flop, and again here, I didn't think the K helped him any.

Of course he could have been playing K3 or K4 and have spiked two pair, or maybe he had a set but since he didn't reraise i figured i was safe. I guess more of a read on him would have been nice, but i hadn't been sitting long and was writing emails.

BB's SNG is troublesome. Reads would really help. I also might be inclined to check through the river, especially since I saw he didn't c/r you.
