KJs on button - 6 Max

[Taciturn]

Did I play this hand wrong? Villain is 42/18 over 121 hands. This preflop raise is pretty standard on the button in a six max game, right? Calling to the river certainly seems like chip spewing -- but, can I really give up that easily after hitting the flop, and turning a flush draw?

Comments on all streets appreciated.

I think the flop call is where you went wrong. A not only are you beat by any two, but you may also be up against a better kicker. I tend to fold to a check raise here with KJ

The turn call I think is ok.
