Valuebet here, fold to a raise...
If he missed his flushdraw, he will obv. fold, if got the str8 , he will push.
Dont think he had set or 2 pair. Maybe he had KQ, KJ...

Raise more preflop. Isn't your standard PFR amount $2? Well, you have two limpers and are in bad position. So you need to account for that and you should make it $3 to go minimum, maybe $3.50.

A cursory glance at flop and turn...and they look OK. I'd block river. Flush didn't get there but 78 did, and who knows if he has a goofy 2 pair hand.

Thanks for your advice. It seems I often raise too little pre-flop. It's a consistent remark on all the hands I post.

My opponent had QQ. I don't know whether he would have called a bet. I think he may, since he went along this far. And I should at least have put out a blocking bet since I'd have a hard decision if he pushed after I checked.

I just feel very uncomfortable when I'm betting into someone and they keep calling me. That way I have no feel for the strength of their hand.

Check/call. There's a good chance he was drawing so let him take a stab + he may make a small value bet with a weaker K for you.

raise more preflop

bet maybe 1/2 pot river as a value/blocker bet

I'd bet ~40-50% pot for value. Board is pretty unthreatening. Pass if he reraises, obviously.
