    About 1/2 to 2/3 the pot, maybe $150 or $200

    Yes I would usually bet around 200 here..the thing is, this early on I usually like raising pre flop to 4XBB plus one extra BB for every limper. So in this case I would have raised to 6XBB or 180 pre flop and then work from there

    just my .02

    2/3 of the pot seems standard

    Really? Why not just 3xBB + 1 per limper? I assume you've found 4xBB +1xBB/limper to work better though. Do you find players fold more often to that as opposed to 3xBB +1xBB/limper?

    ** Dealing River ** [ 2c ]
    ** Summary **
    lilred31 shows [ Qc Jc ].
    Hero shows [ Kh As ].
    lilred31 shows [ Qc Jc ].
    lilred31 collected [$1780].
    lilred31 collected [$10].

    I obviously should have folded to a raise on the turn, but I was stupid and went all-in. Was the turn bet ok though or should it have been smaller or should I have even just checked?

    Also, should I always bet 2/3 pot or should I only bet half if there is no flush or straight draws?

    Early on 3XBB is nothing and you want fish to pay 180 or so weith their mediocre hands..so yeah ive found 4X plus 1 for every limper works better than 3X plus 1 for every limper..
