Hand #8113300-10248 Summary:

$3 is raked from a pot of $1300.

In hindsight it looks like you should have bet the turn and perhaps that is true. The ace is obviously a scare card so perhaps you should have thrown out a bet of 2/3 of the pot say 800 and seen what happened just to get more info on your hand strength. Once it gets to the river i think the opportunity is lost as the ten is helping quite a few drawing hands and you probably know your kings aint no good. The chance to take the pot down was on the turn but you know that.

I might be biased because I have seen the results but I do think you should have bet the turn, 1/2 pot to 2/3 pot. The A was actually a good card for you since it didnt complete any of the possible straight draws. Why not represent AQ and find out how much they like their hands?
