JJ, is this an easy fold on the turn?

no reads, as I just switched tables. Comments on all streets welcome as I am having a difficult time moving up from .01/.02 to .02/.05 (how sad is that [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img] ) I will try to post some other hands later.

I think you should bet the turn here. Maybe 1.25? If he just calls again then c/c a safe river. Your check shows weakness and invites him to try and take it down. There are a lot of draws on this flop and w/ 2 K's on the flop, it's very possible he doesn't have a K here.

You could have CR'ed the turn... He only bet .50 into a ~1.5 pot. Either he's value betting or he's bluffing.

pot the turn and c/c a safe river.

I'd add another BB to your preflop raise. I'm also more inclined to bet around $.6 on the flop as played. We're at the same stakes, and sometimes those calling stations hit Kings. However, until they raise me, I lead every non-scary street, and sometimes streets that are scary.
