This is an ok line IMO

edit: hmm, didn't notice he was shortstacked. I would rather have bet the flop so I can push the turn

i dont really like doing this against a short stack.

the hand looks fine as long as the river is a blocker...

Yes, if he calls all-in and raises some more, I'll fold and move to a site that uses table stakes rules.

wow i suck at life... it looks fine to me...

edit- what is the benefit to leading the river? after thinking about it i think that c/c the river may be the better line, but im not sure...

I like it..if you put him on a weaker K, you may consider c/c-ing the river if he will stab at it. If he had a FD, he played it very strange.

I like leading the entire way.
