Decided to raise flop to isolate and then check/call as if was in WA/WB situation.
Now I'm beginning to think that a river bet could have been nice considering a paired board, K kicker and villain's check on the turn...

why you did raise the flop but then you decided to check the turn? either you consider yourself to be ahead and you just call the flop or you consider yourself to be still ahead even on the turn as the 6 is a pure blank so don't be afraid and keep betting but as played you should bet out on the flop with your pair and if you just check then just call down. the pot is small and you can't expect to get called down by any worse hand. your hand is actually just a bluffcatcher. on the river easy bet as he would have certainly bet with Kx and you can get extra value from small pairs.


Thanks for the review!
I was quite sure that raising flop makes sense in terms of getting rid of other players and stayind HU.

Do I understand correctly that here I should be either calling down or betting out all streets?

Thanks.
