OK this is a £5.50 DYM so maybe the raise pre was also poor. Maybe that won me the hand who knows, opinions please lol.

    Value bet the river you know your ahead he would never check the river with trip kings. I think checking the turn was fine but he had to act first on river so f he wanted chips he would value bet or shove with kings, he didnt so you should of value bet him. But you won so it dont matter lol

    I can see why he called your flop bet tho, from his point of view he would be checking to see if you had kings, he knew you wouldnt have 2's by your pre flop raise. When u checked the turn he prob thought he was ahead but only with k's and 5's so if you small bet the river when the next two come down you would of been paid more than likely.

    Theres loads of ways of playing this hand your way is fine above is just my opinion
