Would you have played it any different? I mean honestly what could he have called for on the flop other then to check raise me later... no draw. The A on the turn may have been the worst card for me... So may people stay in to hit there ace...

Comments?

bet turn. the ace is as scary for him as it is for you.

as played I'd bet the river. When he checks to you you have him beat and get value from a T.

Bet the river. If villain is somewhat tight this is good.

You honestly don't think he could have 65 or 54 or Q5 or a zillion other hands that include a five?

[DavidSRT]

I think I should have bet the river. after his second check but I couldn't pull the trigger on this occasion, for some reason.

as played i would bet the river.
turn is, i think, player dependent decision; if he is loose-passive bet/fold (all streets); if he is LAG (he'd probably bet, so check/call); your line could be for tight-passive - but i don't know, what would he call with on the flop - AQs? K? well, he's not TAG, that's sure.
he seems like a LP (open-limp from MP), so bet/fold turn&amp;river.
(i'm not sure for river fold to a c/r - whatever, he can't do it)

Two cards bigger than a 5. Bet every street.

Two K’s on the flop makes it more unlikely that anyone has a K then if just 1 K flopped. I think some of the people at Stars .25/.50 realize this, and play back at me on just these flops.

Anyway, the bottom end of your raising range includes AK or even AQ, both pretty frightening hands against a limper. Bet the turn, fold to a C/R.

River I let check thru (but I'm a wuss).

As you play more hands you will constantly be surprised with what people will all you down with. It's one of the hidden bonuses of playing on-line poker.

I think I'd bet this hand until villain raised. Remember they can't fold unless you bet. Well, they can but still.

Opponent dependent. Generally I check the turn and bet the river, but it obviously depends on how aggressive your opponent is. Since we know that the opponent did not bet the river, we can say in retrospect that it was probably better to bet the turn (and check the river).

i bet the turn and the river, it costs me nothing extra as I have to fold to a c/r
