Thanks for the input michael. I had similar thoughts, I just couldn't get them straight.

I'm thinking I should have bet harder on the flop and if raised, just folded, putting him on a king. Or I could do what I did, and just call his raise, check the turn, fold to a bet.

If I saw the river though, I'm sure I would have called, even if I thought he had a king. He quickly went over the top of me on the river and that sent me a signal that he wanted a call from me. As I was calling, I knew I was beat. I play somewhat tightly, and I think he saw this and wanted to use my own agression against me. Which is usually what happens.

Being out of position also hurt me. I could have check-raised, and if I was re-raised, folded there. If he called my raise on the flop, I think I would be in the same situation I was in before though. Not much information there.

Anyways, thanks for the feedback. It helps to have someone to discuss hands and plays with. I have some friends I play a weekly game with, but none of them are interested in discussing how to play certain hands. They only want to moan about their bad beat stories and how the calling station drew out on them again.
