    Although I don't really vary my PFR based on position, here I think you definitely should have raised more preflop. I would have raised to $1.75 myself. Yes I know you will be OOP for the rest of the hand, but my general opinion is that when you're going to be OOP, you want to discourage rather than encourage action.

    I think your other streets were played decently. I might have bet the turn because his call on the flop could be a flush draw (online 25NL clowns love to limp with any two suited). If called or raised on Fourth Street, I'm done because he probably has the king in this case. As played, his .25 bet is an autocall (35 to 1 rofl) and I would probably play the river the same way. A lot of players I've seen at this level will throw out minbets with a great hand to try and suck you in then throw in a huge bet on the river. It tends to throw up big "donk" signals my way.

    And, one final note/alternative: It might be best just to complete the blind. I do this a lot of the time with hands like AJo/ATs/ATo/KQo etc. Your hand is marginal at best. Why invest a lot of money out of position and give yourself headaches? Unless all the players are weak/tight nits and/or you're trying to build an aggressive image, just see a flop. Remember, as you've pointed out in some of your posts, it's a cash game. You can always wait for a better situation.

    Hope I could help a bit.

    I wasn't getting any action at this table, so I was having to make plays like this just to lose credibility when I cought hands.

    A few hands earlier I had KK two times in three hands and only won the blinds.

    I eventually left the table because of this.
