Game is $2/3 , been playing pretty tight and havent had a hand for awhile..
Table down to 5 handed which was about to be split.

Hero raise it to $12 preflop with 9dJd stack size of $100
SB folds BB calls

Pot is $26

Flop is 6d4c2s

SB checks
Cbet $15
BB calls $15

Pot is $56

Turn 4s
BB checks
Hero checks

River is Kc

BB checks
Hero bets $40

BB calls $40

What happened here? Where was my flaw?What is the min he can call on the river?

1. Play with a full stack. Don't try fancy bluffs when short stacked.

We raise pre, and we bet flop, which is pretty dry, and not likely to connect with your hand. No FD. V calls. He has something. A PP, or maybe any piece of the board. Turn you check back. So now V thinks you have nothing, big cards, plus, depending on how passivery he is, he could be trying to trap you.

So on the river, V just might not believe you, and he will call with 6x, obv 4x, any Kx, and PP 7-7 through QQ.

I don't mind the bluff on the river, bUT dont sweat it if it backfires. You made a valiant effort. It just didn't work that time.

I think hand was payed alright, but you should be playing with more chips. Maybe a tad more on the flop, like $18 or $20 for C-bet.

I'd probably shut down on this turn completely if it's not a diamond. It doesn't hit our perceived range and villain is likely to get sticky. Unless you have a read that villain always folds to barrels or likes to float with A-high, I think we just give up. River seems okay since it's a decent card for us. Presumably we would be betting this if we actually had a K, but I think his call is alright since you know, it's hard to make a pair.
