    I bet the turn, $6-7.50. You might as well keep repping the K and hope he has AK.

    As played I raise more, to at least $10. You get a lot of folds this way so keep it in mind when people bet that small and you don't have a hand.

    slow motion
    i like to lead out the turn for $7-8. rep the king like you did on the flop and if he has a K like his line suggests, you will get paid off here everytime.
    eeevees are not monies yet...they are like baby monies.

    I think leading is best if we think he has a king a pretty good percentage of the time. When he called I thought he could and was planning to check the turn. Then the 8 hit and I was planning to check raise.

    When he made that small blocker, I think those are usually weak, sometimes very strong. A big raise usually wins the pot (as siggidy said) so I try to keep him around for the river. Probably a mistake to slow down here.

    I luck out and he has 77 and makes his set under set on river.
