Raise to $3 preflop (4xBB+1bb per limper), or limping and playing for set value would have been alright as well. Bet the flop like you have AK. If you'd usually bet light like that, then fine. Turn check and river fold are probably OK. Although you could easily make a case for a turn bet. Guy checks to you twice and that looks weakish. He should lay down most hands to a turn bet that can't beat a pair of Kings, including one or two (TT) that are ahead of you. The river bet may just be 88/77 or air betting because he thinks your weak. You hadn't given him any reason to think otherwise.

That is basically what I am curious about. Do I make enough folding out TT or getting 88 to call as I lose when I get a weak K to call down. I just dont know how hard to bet here without losing in the long run...I dont think.
