The only place your looking at a raise here is on the river...possibly the turn to see where you stand with a 2nd pair. The way it played i would have raised the river bet, $.5 into a pot how big? hes trying to price in a cheap showdown, one that you shouldnt give him.

Villan checked his BB and then check-called the flop meaning hes likely at best on an Ace rather than 2 pair or more. only thing your worried about on the river is the flush that came but a bet of $.5 into such a big pot is hardly for value with a flush which is a big tell he didnt hit the flush. Trying to price in the showdown is screaming "i have the ace...did you just hit your running kings?" Make him pay to show down and raise it up

I hate the whole hand

why no aggression pre flop and then bet on the flop in a 4 way pot with a gutshot?

Raise the river for sure

I would rather fold KQo here than raise, vs. these opponents. Either I raise to like $2, and get a bunch of callers, or I raise more like $3-5 and only get called when I am behind. In either case, the pot is pretty big. If my position was better, I would raise and either get HU or steal the blinds.

Most of these players are much tighter post flop than they are pre-flop. The will fold all sorts of better hands to a flop bet here (draws, AX), and its reasonably cheap for me.

Yeah, when he calls and donks the turn, I put him on a much better hand. In fact, I think my turn call was quite loose (and indeed I am way behind). I didn't raise because I was just confused by his line - for some reaosn I though he had KJ or AK, or a set, or even a flush... even though by the river this is pretty unlikely.
Finally, if he really is weak he will fold almost always to my raise.

If you're not raising the crap out of that river then you really need to fold the turn because a lot of the time you're drawing to six outs and you need to get some value when you hit.
