Default $5.50 rebuy 35k guranteed.

I might be being results oriented again but I really don't have any friends that play poker so I can't just ask them so I appreciate your posts, especially those who may consider these hands either stupid or incredibly standard.

For this hand my opponent had been caught bluffing alot, even when his bets are very big. Although he has been caught he also has gotten lucky and that is why his stack is so big. So far I had been playing pretty solid, I had raised twice or three times from the co and button after limpers and taken down the pot. This is the reason why I didn't raise because I thought this might help vary my play and I didn't want to put myself in a position to get raised off this hand by a small pp or weak ace that may have picked up on it. The other reason I didn't raise is because villian was probably going to call it, even though I was in position I didn't want to build a pot against an opponent I couldn't put an accurate range on. Should I still have raised? What are you doing on the river?

I think's a fold given you raised flop. Why not bet the turn?

The reason I didn't bet the turn was because I was scared he might have had an ace, his check led me to believe that an A was an unlikley possibility. His overbet on the river seemed like a bluff, what range do you have him on if you think its a fold? I think a higher K is unlikly as AK probably would have been raised preflop, I think a raggedy two pair is unlikly as well. Given my description I saw a J alot of the time, plus smaller pp's and even complete air sometimes, plus I was getting pretty good odds.
