Raise to at least 250 preflop after two limpers

Check behind on the flop (which is awful for you obviously), you're hoping to hit an out or just get to a cheap showdown.

River, who knows, maybe you can squeeze out a call the way you played it but it looks pretty grim.

I like raising a little more preflop, like 250 or something. Anyway, hands like these are tough. He often has a crap Ace here, but getting 3 to 1 I like the river call. If he does have a crap Ace he didn't play it very well and he'll only be temporarily holding your chips.

Check behind on the flop makes this hand a lot easier to play since you keep the pot small and allow him to bluff more into you with a worse. Dont bet the flop and turn your kings into a bluff.
