Pre Flop: ($0.03) Hero is UTG+2 with :kh4: :kd4:
1 fold, UTG+1 calls $0.02, Hero raises to $0.08, 6 folds, UTG+1 calls $0.08

River: ($0.69) :8h4: (2 players)
UTG+1 checks, Hero bets $0.65, UTG+1 folds

Now I know I played this hand poorly, I'm just posting it to see what line would have been best. I missed value by trying to get tricky and checking back the flop. I bet big on the river as I figured that since he called a raise on the turn he wasn't ever going to fold unless four to a straight came and he didn't have it. Since he folded now I think that might have been what he was drawing to with AJ or QJ the most likely hands he could have.

What kind of range can we really put him on that open limps pre-flop and then calls a raise on the turn? I have since people open limp AK before at these stakes but I don't think he had that in this case since there is a good chance he would have called the river and there are only three possible AK combos.

Extra unlucky that turn is a pretty big action killer. I'd try going for thin value OTR betting about $0.30, but flop was your only real mistake.

Bet flop of course. Probably bigger mistake is the river though. What do you think his hand range is at this point? It's going to be Ax, QT type hand and not much else. No 2 pairs, especially if he's just calling turn and checking the river. So you need to size your bets to get value from that range of hands.
