KJo on cutoff 10 players bb=1, stack=600. Villain is button with stack>600.
Reads: No strong ones...I was 6 tabling and waiting for good hands...the limper was a guy who liked to give his stack away, the villain had yet to play in a big pot where I'd seen anything out of the ordinary...

midposition limp
Hero raises to 4.
Villain call
all others fold
pot is now 10.5.
Flop is KJ7 rainbow
Hero checks
Villain bets 11. --I immediatly put him on a draw Q9, QT or T9 or AT
Hero reraise to 22.
Villain calls. Now I'm even more certain he's got a draw. Pot is 54.5
Turn is KJ8 T, --the T feels like an awfull card, and now I feel like im drawing to a boat or a
Hero checks
Villain bets 1
Hero calls--In retrospect perhaps I should have raised here?
Pot is 56.5
River is: KJ8T 7
Hero checks
Villain bets 60
Hero folds...
Villain shows ___.

Was that a weakly played turn from me, or did I save myself cash in the long term? Who here calls the river? Anyone bet the river to stop a bluff? Anyone think I should bet the flop harder and take it down?

I really think this hand belongs to normal hand histories.

Your raise to 22 is bad. gives out your hand (fish like to minraise with sets) and gives your opponent pot odds to continue with decent draws (I call with a gushot if a fishy minraises me here). Turn: How do you assume that he hit a gutshot there. I am more inclined to think that his AT or QT hit a pair there. unless he is tricky minbet = blocking bet, raise to ~30. Given how the hand was played you have no idea whether you are ahead or behind here. I would read you being weak and bet here with just about anything. But I would fold anyways. You played this horrible and you know it. Now let others berate you too and learn
