I get
![[Ks]](https://livepokerforum.com/images/smilies/Ks.gif "The King of Spades")
[Kh][Js][Th] on the button and open raise. BB is only caller.Flop:
![[Jc]](https://livepokerforum.com/images/smilies/Jc.gif "The Jack of Clubs")
[Ts][9s]. Opponent checks, I pot, opponent checkraises pot, I call. Turn:
![[Td]](https://livepokerforum.com/images/smilies/Td.gif "The Ten of Diamonds")
. Opponent instantly pots, I call.River:[Qd]. Opponent checks, I check behind.
Reasoning: most likely hand for my opponent is the straight of course, although a set is also possible. I guess that in 1/3 of the cases he is playing back at me with air. On the flop I call, since I'm currently behind against his range but have some decent draws. My hand is too good to fold there, right?
On the turn I improve but now we have a WA/WB situation, and I think that only a better hand is going to call if I raise. The speed with which he bet made me think that he decided to bet any turn. I'm less inclined to think now that he has air, since a drive-bluff on this board would be quite uncommon.
On the river there's about $60 left in his stack. Against passive straightforward opponents I might try to milk a bit more and make a value bet of $30 or so which they have to call with a straight, but this guy was capable of getting tricky on the river and checking a better boat. Also, the river card didn't exactly help me, but could have given hands like AKQT or AKQQ a better boat.
Thoughts on my play? Should I have been more aggressive?
