God....even as I look over that, I can see what's wrong.
Raise PF.
Raise more on the flop.
Re-raise the turn.

Sound about right?

Playing 6 handed, you gotta lower your starting hand requirements. I would think (don't know) that AJs is a premium hand and you have to raise it PF for sure (never call into an unopened pot, always raise or fold) and you flopped top 2 pair, bet hard to take it down or make them pay for their draw. The turn I am raising again, the river, I would prolly check/call.

Flop raise was good for the pot that was there, but a little more is good too, your bet was on the low end of OK, but still OK.

Yup, raise the turn, about pot sized.

And I think you need to call the river. His action indicates he is possibly not playing a king, possible, but action earlier is giving me that Ax is a strong enough possibility that I think we may have odds to call. Pretty sure we can win this 1 time in 5, so yeah calling is +EV there.

at these low of stakes, people will honestly play Q6 on the flop looking for a K, and now think they have the best hand with bad 2 pair and value bet.

even not at these low stakes, marms math sounds right.

and yeah everybody allready covered the fact u gotta raise more.

lol, couldnt have said it better myself!

[PJ of TheGame]

Yeah, on the turn I think he probably hit his kicker... so I raise.

I would never fold a good hand to a 1/3 pot bet in NL on the river. Never. Sound silly? just try calling there a few times and get an idea of how often you win... I guarantee you'll find it's profitable.
