A friend of mine reviewed some hand histories for me and disagreed with my play in this hand.

Villain is a solid, multi-tabling 20/40 regular. His name starts w/ the letters phu. Stats: 16/8/2.7 over 30k hands.

Here are my friend's comments:

Full ring you are SB and complete with K5s its 4 way unraised.

Flop comes T87 two of your suit you bet out! I think check/call checkraise is better here. Its highly likely someone hit this flop any T late position 8 or 9 will bet here even QJ.

Also on the river I prefer to induce a bluff(you catch a king and bet out) rather than bet/fold, sometimes a 9 or a flush draw will fire another barrel here pot is decent I wanna see a showdown.
