Final Pot: $19.50

No real reads here. This was the fourth hand at table. My main opponent this hand raised PF the first hand and won the pot with a bet on the flop. The second and third hand he folded pre-flop.

Pre-flop, I raise here maybe 50%, calling the rest of the time. I like raising because it let's me take control of the hand and sweetens the pot if I flop something big.

I think this is an obvious bet on the flop. Unforunately, my opponent called. On the turn I considered a second barrel but decided to take the free card. Does anyone bet again here?

On the river, I considered a raise all-in. My line to that point could very well be how someone would play KK. Anyone raise the river here? I almost never make this play, but think maybe I should from time to time.
