    Default Is this play weak? (Boring hand warning)

    If I am behind in this hand, am I wasting money by calling instead of figuring out my position. If I am ahead in this hand, am I minimizing my profits?

    Trip mid kicker is a pain for me, since you dont get many callers who dont have you beat. Here however, with his weak raise on the river, it feals like you got him. (Perhaps something stupid like a 9?)

    Either way, most hands that would call a reraise has you beat here. Without a good read, I'd say you played it fine.

    I think you played it fine. I want to hold that J kicker to be raising anywhere in there. I can't see anyone limping KQ in 6max, but maybe they would with KJ. The problem is that you also have to consider K9 in that hand.
