On another note, what range of hands do you think he had here? I'm going to rule out pocket pairs 88-AA as well as AT-AK. He would have re-raised there. Obviously he didn't have a King here. So... perhaps something like 98-QJ? Or A3 or A5? Maybe pocket 2s, 4s, or 6s?

Another bit of bad news with that move is that if you're wrong and he has the king, you've put 3000 chips in the pot!! It's very dangerous to risk your big stack on one hand, I've already mentioned that I usually prefer to be the aggressor in many smaller hands instead of one big one. But at least you're the aggressor this time instead of being the caller. That's a good thing.

What do you think of my play? When he first called my flop bet, I wasn't sure if he had a K or not. When the turn came up with another K, I figured my 7s were probably good. Instead of my usual value betting here, I tried to represent the K with a check small raise.
He knows I continuation bet often. So I tried to make it seem like I once again did a continuation bet, but was going to give it up on the turn now that I missed. I check the turn, making him think I'm ready for the usual check/fold after my continuation bet doesn't work. He bets a small amount (500 into a pot of 3300, giving me about 6:1 odds), which could mean he wanted to lure me in, but I took the chance. I thought he would have re-raised me pre-flop or on the flop if he had a K.
