I would raise a little more preflop, otherwise it looks fine to me :>, nice suckout.

I'm giving up on this hand after the c/b on the flop. Unless you know the guy to be a calling station, what do you think he's calling with on the flop? Probably not a hand you beat. The only two hands you beat here are a FD and a smaller pair. I don’t think he has a FD because 1) that means he’s raising from EP w/ a hand like KQs or something, which I guess is reasonably possible at 50nl, however it’s much more likely that he has some sort of ace and 2) because he’s getting a little over 2 to 1, and he only had $14 left, so he’s not getting the right price to chase it. I also don’t think he has a smaller pair here most of the time either (unless he is a calling station) because you 3 bet pf, so he’ probably looking for a set or to see a smaller flop than his pair. Versus an unknown, I’m putting him on an ace every time. Even if I have stats or a read on the guy that suggests I am ahead, I suspect he will have an ace here a lot. Try not to see your hand as kings and that your opponent only had $14 left. Instead, see it as you’re going to be beat here 95% of the time and you’re drawing to two outs.
