King high and to the river we go...

Thanks for the input. Is it standard to then check / fold overcards on this flop? Or bet and then fold to a raise? Is that what I should be doing? Or do I call a reraise on the flop and fold on the turn U/I? I guess the consensus is that I didn't play this well at all and just got lucky? Is it possible that I simply had bluff outs as well as my overcard outs, and simply made a good move at the right time? Is it at all possible that my read was solid and I just played the hand as well as I could which happened to end in a good result for myself? I'll usually fold to a reraise in that spot, or take another card only to fold on the turn U/I, but I took an alternate approach here. Its not something I'd try too often, obviously, as again the consensus is that I played this poorly.

first off not all overcards are created equal, not all boards are good either, and number of opponents is important, as is who is raising you .. so there isn't a simple way to play them, and looking for a simple 1line answer for all overcard play isn't the way to look at it

One thing I should mention is that I mistakenly referred to the button as "weak tight." I realize this changes the analysis, but I didn't have many hands with which to go on. Thus far he had only shown a set of 4's, and only played 12hands

I noticed he had never raised

I don't know how many times I've went 15-20hands without a raising hand, and I raise 10-12% at fullring, 16-18% at 6max .. so don't try to make stat readbased plays off of 12-15hands

I can't think of a player type that I would 3bet this flop with KQo no backupdraws

The flop raise is useless. On the river I don't think you can make a better hand (i.e. a low pair) to fold against a fairly decent player but it's 1/2 and a weak opponent so maybe you can get away with it given the pot size (bad players don't adjust to pot size and can make bad folds).

Bottomset, you've convinced me, I'm a failure. I played this recklessly and just got lucky. Thanks for your input everyone.

Bah, it's ok, this is how you learn. Props for having the guts to admit that.
