Should I have not even gotten into this?? Opp was kinda tightish for the 3 orbits I was at the table - didn't see him in many pots.

On the river, I was pretty sure I was beat, but it was a big pot and there was a small chance I was ahead.

Against weak players, I tend to bet it weak on every street to avoid exactly that happning on the river.

No big deal, like I said, if possible, and for you it seems not to be.

This is always a tricky position hitting TPGK from the small blind.

My line would have been..

Riase $3 on the flop to weed out any junk hands that might hit 2-Pair, but leave the people chasing a straight draw.

Raise $5 on the turn, Don't want to give a free card, but I want to keep the pot small.

Check out of posotion on the river with the intention of calling a bet that is no bigger than the size of the pot.

It's ok to show weakness on the river becase then he will bet at you with his missed straight, and if he does have trips/boat/straight, by checking he thinks you missed your straight, so hopefully he will only try to extract a little bit, therefore keeping your losses to a minimal.

Come on, Les Worm, it's hardly an effort reading the HH. Maybe I should refuse to read posts which aren't constructed with flawless grammar and syntax - it's the same difference.
