Robb's Homework Assignment. Hand advice.

Robb's Homework Assignment in his "first 5k hands of 10nl" is to ask about 3 hands that gave me trouble. Now I'm actually playing 2nl but I think it applies none the less. Now luckily this hand didn't cost me much, but it did make me look at different streets and different decisions I made. Should I have bet flop? Should I have called river? Should I have bet more/less in situations?

I want you to know, I honestly figured him for A10[he actually had k10 i know.], which if I should trust my reads, means that was a bad call But it was such a wimpy bet, I felt obligated to call it down. Thanks ahead for any advice.

EDIT: Also, before I'm asked "why did you bet the flop, what were you trying to get to fold, a pair of kings isn't going to fold." The reason is(and If im wrong, that's fine too, I just thought I'd at least give my reasoning.) is that I was betting with overcards to the 3, 9. and pricing out a weak straight draw with the 9 and K on the board.(J10 certainly seemed in their range. and Paulski would've called with gutshot for sure.)(Keiser not so much, I was almost certain he missed, he's pretty TAGG, doesn't play around, gets his value bets in there.)

preflop good, flop marginal but still somewhat decent, id probs bet 2/3rds pot rather than half if i was gonna c bet. Turn is definitely a raise, id raise more to something like 0.25. Then a river call is perfectly fine, obv the river is a bad card for you and often you are beat but theres no way you can fold with the odds you were getting and the fact he could just be making a semi blocking bet with a pair of kings etc. Overall id give the way you played the hand 8/10.

I think you played the hand perfectly well :)
except, I'd raise more on turn, but apart from that I like it

Paulski is a weak/passive fish, I hope you ended up taking his stack as the session went on ;P

Bet more turn, I'm hearing that for shure. LOL Paulski was the only reason I was playing that table for the last 20 minutes. I took another Doller off of him before he bailed. He was my favorite player :D
