Default Flopped a set - how did I play it?

Live 6-handed 1/2 home game. Villain is skilled, generally TAGgy player but capable of clever tricks.

Villain has about $180, hero covers.

Hero: 5 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 5 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]

CO limps, button folds, SB (Villain) completes, Hero checks.

Flop: K [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 5 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 2 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]

SB checks, Hero checks (intending to CRai CO, who is likely to bet when checked to), CO bets $6, SB calls, Hero CRaises to $16, CO folds, SB Villain calls.

Turn: J [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]

Villain checks, Hero bets $36, Villain calls.

River: K [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]

Villain pushes all-in for about $120, Hero ????

Not really sure why you expected CO to bet this flop. I'd lead out. My c/r would be larger too.

Easy call.

Is there supposed to be a video of your victory dance before you call villain that I can rate?

i call this with ease, KJ raises the turn and prolly raises PF, i wouldn't be surprised to see a K or possibly 22...

lead flop and the c/r should be bigger, turn bet is nice to kick out draw and he isn't even overbetting the river...

Glad to see the votes for calling - I did, but with much hesistation. I, too, was considering K2 given the small-blindness but possibly also KJ. I really didn't expect to see KX here without the boat from this player. I exposed my hand and very nearly folded it, but decided that would be way too weak.

Turns out it was KJ - he thought his hand looked enough like a busted flush draw to get me to make a hero call and was slow-playing the turn, not realizing how strong my hand was from the beginning.

Thanks for the replies.

well you can at least get up and go to the fridge and get your buddy a cold drink after he loses the pot.

If he does have a bigger boat...that's the life of poker.

Yeah, that's the problem. I didn't think KJ was likely since I would have raised in that spot, just as he didn't put me on 55 because he knows I would raise in that spot. I just couldn't put him on KX (non-boat) in that spot because he would have to put me on at least a K I would think...

Bad luck, but I'm glad I didn't get a bunch of "Fold. Standard." posts - I feel better about my call (even though I did strongly consider the boat - problem was it would almost have to be K2 only the way it played out). Also folding is waaay too weak.
