Flop is cbet. Now I doubt about the Turn bet and obviously the river is fold... what do you think folks?

PokerStars - €0.02 NL (6 max) - Holdem - 4 players
Hand converted by PokerTracker 4

Hero (BTN): 286.5 BB
SB: 117 BB (VPIP: 65.85, PFR: 48.78, 3Bet Preflop: 0.00, Hands: 86)
BB: 281.5 BB (VPIP: 27.88, PFR: 21.81, 3Bet Preflop: 8.39, Hands: 911)
CO: 181.5 BB (VPIP: 44.44, PFR: 11.11, 3Bet Preflop: 0.00, Hands: 9)

SB posts SB 0.5 BB, BB posts BB 1 BB

Pre Flop: (pot: 1.5 BB) Hero has K♠ K♦

fold, Hero raises to 3 BB, SB calls 2.5 BB, fold

Flop: (7 BB, 2 players) A♥ 6♠ 2♣
SB checks, Hero bets 4.5 BB, SB calls 4.5 BB

Turn: (16 BB, 2 players) 3♠
SB checks, Hero bets 10.5 BB, SB calls 10.5 BB

River: (37 BB, 2 players) 7♣
SB bets 35 BB, Hero calls 35 BB

Spoiler

SB shows 5♦ 4♦ (Straight, Seven High)
(Pre 22%, Flop 20%, Turn 100%)
Hero mucks K♠ K♦ (One Pair, Kings)
(Pre 78%, Flop 80%, Turn 0%)
SB wins 102.5 BB

We have written this a thousand times: xc flop, xc turn, donk (pot) river is a line mostly for value.
Why do you call river when every single Ax beat You?

Yes, trying to solve your tilt issues is important part of your game plan.

Yes, xc=check call. There is no xv, I misstyped. I corrected it in my first post , it should be xc again.

X turn, x/c (b) river

You could probably check OTT.
As played his river donk looks very strong and you can fold.

Yet one more thread with confused terminology.

Please guys, you can't x/c (check-call) when in position. Quasars soon will become laser stars and the flat earth a credible model and On the Origin of Species suspect.

It doesn't matter if several posters, or even the majority, use the incorrect terminology that probably originated with a group of coaches or frequent posters having a less than stellar command of English (and probably also poker). It is still wrong.

Now I have to stand in the corner for a couple of hours. To my defense, it wasn't directed "only" to you (mistakenly so). It is pretty common that people do check-raising in position and stuff like that in these forums. My apologies. My own copyrighted blunder is to misread hands (and posts).

Against this sort of a loose fishy villain I think value-betting 2 streets is a must, as he could find many reasons to calm with plenty of worse.

River is a snap fold as this line signs he has the nuts 99/100.
