Turn: ($9.50, 2 players) K
LP checks, Hero bets $2.00, LP raises to $4.00, Hero raises to $6.00,

I didn't believe I did it, i think it's the first time i do something like this, i'm trying to be better player, this is the type of moves i have to try to win more?

my thought on here was to make him fold hands like KQ,KT, or doing his straight draws expensive... but...

LP raises to $8.00, Hero calls $2.00

River: ($25.50, 2 players) T
LP bets $2.00, Hero raises to $4.00, LP calls $2.00

I won the hand but i feel bad about my turn decision cause once the hand ended i figured that this guy is not likely to do ck-r with the hands i thought on turn

Your turn 3-b doesn't accomplish the things you want it to. The questions below should help you to see why.

my thought on here was to make him fold hands like KQ,KT...

Do you think he would ever fold a hand like this by the river?

..., or doing his straight draws expensive...

How many straight draws do you think he has when he takes this line? How many value hands do you think he has when he takes this line? How much money do you make when he has a straight draw? How much money do you lose when he has a value hand?

I made a very bad decision, now i see. He is not playing KQ,KT like this, he is not super agressive and he will just call with this, he is AgFq 50, and i think he is doing a call there as well with his straight draws. He has KJ or better.

Thanks for showing me.
