you played it just fine and gave as much action as can be tolerated. maybe even a check call on the river was right depending on whether you though he might have bet a lone king.
no way were you to put another bet in on the turn. you cant play cards and look back after knowing what they had and find a way to have won more or lost less. you can only play on your read and probable hands he may have and yours wasnt looking so strong at the turn or river.
dont drink my wine up if your stash runs low.

won't be results oriented, just trying to come up with the right line regardless of what they "had", not doing the hindsight is 20/20 thing, i hope!!

and for the wine stash, it is plentiful and i haven't been drinking any at all, how sad is that?

cheers. J.
