Preflop, against a typical opponent, I like fold then call then raise in that order.

I think you can bet/fold this river against a passive opponent.

I would be folding preflop, K3s is not such a great hand, and at 3/6 you only have 1$ invested so far in the small blind. I do not even complete if there aren't multiple limpers.

As played, I would bet the river and hope he folds his overcards, if he calls I am expecting 55-88?

Dump this preflop to begin with, but once you 3-bet preflop play it as you did. Bet/fold river.

Absolutely nothing good can come of three-betting this PF when your blind is 1/3 a small bet. Fold it.

1. Definitely fold pre-flop.

2. Flop and turn look good by me.

3. I hate rivers like this, basically because betting and checking both feel painful to me. Just make the decision based on a read: will this opponent bet more hands than he calls with, or vice versa? Go from there. Against a standard, aggressive opponent, checking to induce a bluff is probably a bit better than betting and hoping to get called by an unimproved A high.
