Looks like possible straight on the river there? Maybe better would be check/call the river? I wonder why did he called turn? He must have had something there to call it, no? Maybe a Q? Or a lesser K? Or also AK and he got scared from straight when I bet river? I don't know...

Not getting action on a value bet does not mean, you did anything wrong. Some percentage of the time there is just nothing, you can do to get paid. If he had 98 for instance, he is not calling a river bet, but he is not turning it into a bluff either, if you check to him. I might go a bit smaller on the river though, because with your bet sizing things get pretty awkward, if he go all in. But this is more a pot geometry issue.

I liked your game in this hand. Reraise on the flop was very good in order to reset the multi-pot. However, you put too much on the river, you had to put fewer chips, so you did a minus action. Why minus? If the opponent has not yet folded, he is likely to have a strong combination, for example a three. Maybe he is luring you. In this case, you are already beaten, and raising on the river is a gift for him. You had to make a min raise on the river and if him making a reraise, you need to fold. One over pair is not as strong a hand, as it seems.

In this example, I think that he has AJ or draw street.

Well played.
I dont see straith on river.
I think he could call turn with: KQ, KJ, KT, 89, 99-JJ, Maybe:Ac7c, Ac8c, 54,K9s
(of course in his range on turn there is 66 and 77)

He folded on river I guess he had 99-JJ, maybee 89.

While technically a raise our 18c bet on the flop was really just a normal C-bet.
A bet of 2c into a pot of 24c is mathematically meaningless, so we should just pretend, he checked to us. I call silly bets like these "fish bet", because they are typically made by bad players will silly hands. Which was clearly also the case here, since he did not even put in the 16c to see the next card.

That's right, but the fact is that in this case we have a multi-bank, no one will bluff against several players.
