foxman,
I see you raised pre-flop to about 4-5xbb. That is always a good start. You also placed a decent post flop raise but it could have been a little stronger. With a straight or flush draw showing on a board I don't like to take many chances and I will usually try to take the pot down right there. Your call on the turn was not good. Again you could see you most likely still had the best hand so raise after the turn, don't just call. You raised on the flop, I think personally I would have just called. If I am beat then so be it but I won't invest too much more into this hand.
All in all not a badly played hand on your part. Some errors there but hey no one is perfect... :D.

I don't know if this is the best advice since I don't consider myself a "great" player but if I saw that flop I would have made a pot sized bet. I know I could potentially make more by not doing that but it prevents a player from drawing out on a rediculous hand. Also, there was a good amount of money in the pot that you had won. But you played it right as far as earning potential is concerned. I would have stayed at that table for him calling that bet with K6o, though, that is for sure..

Raising the river is lame. It gets very little value and exposes you to a re-raise, which would suck. If you've got a marginal hand on the river like that just close the action as quickly and cheaply as possible.

other than your call on the turn... i think you were okay... though i understand the concern with the paired board. probably would have been best though to continue with the aggression and make your substantial riase. perhaps he would have called... but remember, if he continues to play like that you'll have all his chips in the long run.
