i played this ok? after this hand, a guy who wasn't even in the pot called me a fish, but i would have folded if the guy had bet the turn...i only bet the flop to test for a king cuz the table had been pretty weak and he would have folded without one...i know maybe i should have raised more preflop...and on the river too...but this wasn't a totally bad play was it? just kind of a lucky one?

Your betting is fine - you got him down to one on one - you stayed aggressive as first to bet - he was a bit passive - he might have check-raised you to make you pay...the river helped both of you - it just helped you more........

Agree with the board here. He was the one calling. He had top pair he should have raised you at some point or simply folded after the Ace hit.

he probably would have called more on the river. 300 at least.

Yeah, but it was only level II, tough to catch a player that quickly if he hasn't been playing that many hands.

More than fine... he's the one who suck here...

KJ

I think it's perfect. I'd play this hand the same way. I'm not one of those raise 4-5X the BB and bet the pot or check the flop people at all. I like it.

One question, though: I love your flop bet. If you had AK and this were a rainbow flop, I'd still love your flop bet, but what if he bets T150 on the turn, Missy? Remember, you fired PF, bet 120 on the flop.

If it's you and I in this hand, I would bet 150-175 on almost any turn card if you check to me here with JJ, 2 low diamonds, KQ, KJ
