Default KJo raising on the button.

Party Poker 2/4 Hold'em (10 handed) converter

BB is 50/5/1.1. CO is 29/10/1.6.

Is this preflop raise okay? I am making a conscious effort to be more aggressive with position.

Preflop: Hero is Button with K[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], J[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img].
UTG calls, <font color="#666666">5 folds</font>, CO calls, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises</font>, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, BB calls, UTG calls, CO calls.

Flop: (8.50 SB) 2[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], J[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], 5[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(4 players)</font>
BB checks, UTG checks, CO checks, <font color="#CC3333">Hero bets</font>, BB calls, UTG folds, CO calls.

Turn: (5.75 BB) 6[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(3 players)</font>
BB checks, CO checks, <font color="#CC3333">Hero bets</font>, BB folds, <font color="#CC3333">CO raises</font>, Hero calls.

River: (9.75 BB) K[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
<font color="#CC3333">CO bets</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises</font>...intending to call a 3-bet. Thoughts?

I would play it like that, but you're kinda hoping he has 65s here. The other two-pair hands are really out there even for a player with a 29% VP$IP (J2, 62, J5, etc). Then again I see a 22/6/1.2 or something limp UTG with K7o so who the hell knows what these guys are doing.

I think this is OK preflop, but I tend to overvalue KJo. One problem here is that BB is unlikely to fold -- but he's very loose so he's probably calling with a crappier hand.

I'm trying to decide if I want to cap that river. I'm not afraid of 43, but a set looks like enough of a possibility that calling a 3-bet seems best.

pre flop: good
flop: good
turn: co's stats make me think he may have a set, not sure what hands he is calling with pf that could be two pair.

river: not sure if I would raise here or not. If I do raise, I may have to fold to a 3 bet.

Incredibly standard, I'd raise a blank river too.

I'm thinking the only way he has you beat is that he slowplayed his 2's or 5's. Otherwise you will have him beat. 66 would be a sloppy flop call....
