After 11 hands villian is 46/9/3.0
its not serious but the fact that he had played almost 50% of all hands its saying something

PokerStars Limit Hold'em, $1.00 BB (6 handed) - Poker-Stars Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com

Preflop: Hero is Button with J, Q
2 folds, CO (poster) checks, Hero raises, 1 fold, BB calls, CO (poster) calls

Flop: (6.5 SB) 5, K, 4 (3 players)
BB checks, CO checks, Hero bets, BB raises, 1 fold, Hero 3-bets, BB calls

Turn: (6.25 BB) 9 (2 players)
BB checks, Hero checks

River: (6.25 BB) K (2 players)
BB checks, Hero bets, BB calls

Total pot: $8.25 (8.25 BB) | Rake: $0.35

Results:
Hero had J, Q (one pair, Kings).
BB had 6, 5 (two pair, Kings and fives).
Outcome: BB won $7.90

I see here many possible mistakes in my playing of this hand.
my thoughts:
1) preflop raise in position with 1 limper
2) raised the flop for free card (isolation)
3) now, i checked the turn card (should i bet on the turn for free showdown with non-showdown value hand ?!)
4) when i showed weakness on the turn and he didnt bet the river card i got an idea to bet from 2 reasons. He checked to me and the river card was scary - another king.
Now i have to blame myself wtf i was thinking because if i would have 1 king or 2 it doesnt matter omg...

Honestly, i hoped that he folds some Acehigh....

Btw: Does it say something more checkraising than leading of the flop ?

loose passive players dont know checkraising on the flop.....
and solid players always checkraise when they have outs or have at least pair.

1) ok

2) wat? you have a draw and you want to isolate? Please slap me upside the head. Or better yet, just call and keep the others in if you're lucky. Oh yeah, there are no others, so why are you trying to isolate when you're already isolated? 3beting for a free card is not horrible, but given that you're probably behind at this level it's not optimal either. Checking the turn and betting the river when you whiff is just soooo weak - you're begging to be called -'please please call me I really have nothing'.

3) wat? no you got raised on the flop and this is like 1/2 or somewhat? You're behind. Get to the river as cheap as you can.

4) Dream away. You 3 bet the flop and he called. Obv he's either got a pair and b/c he's a random 1/2 or whatever player he can't fold to save his life OR he might have a random FD which you may beat at showdown anyway. Rarely will he have AhXh (you've got two hearts yourself).

1) meh...i go either way.
2) holy cow?!!! no isolation here. just call and call again on turn w/ odds because he aint folding. and, if he has the K, he wont/shouldnt be giving a free card on turn anyway.
3) if you are going to bluff/3b that flop, you had better rep that K by betting the turn, too. yes, if you 3b the flop, you bet the turn and check behind river ui. if he calls the turn bet, you are completely sunk w/o a heart.
4) betting now was pretty foolish. its a good spot to 3barrel had you bet the turn, too. but, i dont even have balls for that at these levels. he has a pair and doesnt want to fold it. STOP BLUFFING THIS GUY. make a note of that and valuebet the holy hell out of him...while NEVER bluffing him again.
LHE is a game where your skill keeps you breakeven until you hit your rush of random BS.

Nothing beats flopping quads while dropping a duece!
