KJ a little weak?

1. you could have put him on a strong K and saved bets later
2. your flop bet would have gotten more respect and you may have been able to take the pot on the flop with a slightly larger bet

The hand has some value but you need a good read and considerable skill to play it in any profitable way.

Thanks Dimitry! A preflop raise of 4X the blind?
