$2 NLHE Full Ring: KJs from SB vs CO's (dedicated preflop caller) J4s?

Villian Stats (VPIP/PFR/AF): 49/3/1.7

I usually play more tight from blinds but since CO had VPIP of 50, mostly preflop calls, and 50% fold to c-bet I decided to rise with KJs and play with my luck in case I could hit good hand. I probably should have not called once he re-rised me, shouldn't I? Was bet when I hit K at river a right choice? Should have I just checked river and folded when he bet, or just called when he would bet? Should I be rising with those pocked cards from SB to begin with? Was it dumb? I knew the guy probably doesn't have anything good cos he was calling with all kinds of crap previously.

We could have limped in pre flop and made a check fold and lost only a few cents including the blinds.

However if we raise then we need to bet more on the flop and then the check on the turn would be fine and after that river we can check call too. As played call - because we can get valuable information on villain's hand. We can see the kind of hand that he limped from cutoff and the way he played it. So for that reason i would call the river raise from villain. :icon_boun

I don't agree with calling... These types of villains you often won't see again. I understand when it's a reg then make the call but usually they don't come back.

Raise flop more and bet turn... if he leads out river he definetly has an 8.

What I was thinking when making only 60% Cbet is because I had nothing on flop I didn't wanted to risk more money. :/

He called so I checked on turn. He checked too so I didn't thought he had a set, I just assumed one would bet for value with set not slow play. Then I bet on river cos I thought he might have just high cards, some kind of Broadways, with no pair or small pocked pair or even just suited A, K, Q or something.

I don't know...

I guess I should have just limped preflop, huh? :/
