now this one too crazy imo. All the possible better hands got there.
I think I'd make it 250 on the flop and shut down from there.

I didn't see that it was the first hand. Still tilting from the last one??

So, you don't think your hand is good on the river so you are trying to get him to fold KQ, K4, K3, 43, A4, A3, a set or a flush?

what does that list above represent? The hands I think he could have that have you beat. Every hand other then KQ is going to call you. A lot of hand you have beat like KT,K9, etc will likely fold. So, why bet? You're are not getting many hands you have beat to fold, but you are folding hands you have beat. Just call on this river. It's cheap and ur hand has a good shot of being the best.

No, I wasn't tilting but trying to play trickier than usual :P I put him on a King, or two pair. I tried to make it look like I was drawing on the flop. I thought the turn was a scare card for him, so I floated which he could interpret as me continuing to draw, or having already made my draw, or even having an ace and a pair. I wanted my river bet to look like I had hit aces up, or had been slow playing all along, or that I had slow played a flush on turn. Probably not a very good play, but I figured I either already have him beat, or he will lay down 2 pair.

I'd say it's a very rare opponent who will lay down two pair here. It's not profitable, IMO, to try to take people off hands. Especially strong hands like two pair or better.

I might fold turn with a read. River is a call.

I think I'd raise the flop to about 200, to test SB and to get rid of MP. Otherwise, I'd call both the turn and river.
