I'm pretty sure I played it correctly

(and please let me know if I didn't)

But the question for this hand is:
What did opponent think I had here?

Pacific Poker - $0.05 NL FAST (6 max) - Holdem - 6 players
Hand converted by PokerTracker 4

BTN: $1.66
SB: $5.04
Hero (BB): $5.10
UTG: $4.60
MP: $3.45
CO: $5.51

SB posts SB $0.02, Hero posts BB $0.05

Pre Flop: (pot: $0.07) Hero has K♦:A♠:

fold, fold, CO raises to $0.15, fold, fold, Hero raises to $0.60, CO calls $0.45

Flop: ($1.22, 2 players) K♥:6♦:A♦:
Hero bets $0.61, CO calls $0.61

Turn: ($2.44, 2 players) Q♣:
Hero bets $1.22, CO calls $1.22

River: ($4.88, 2 players) 5♠:
Hero bets $2.67 and is all-in, CO calls $2.67

Hero shows K♦:A♠: (Two Pair, Aces and Kings)
(Pre 73%, Flop 99%, Turn 100%)
CO shows A♥:7♣: (One Pair, Aces)
(Pre 27%, Flop 1%, Turn 0%)
Hero wins $9.62
Rake paid $0.60

It's NL5 you're either up against a nit who folded pre or a fish who pays you off because he paired his A, that's how it goes. Don't overthink it and yes you played it perfectly fine :f_drink:

I am sure they only see their own hand and didn't spend a micro second thinking about your range.
You literally have close to zero natural bluffs on this board. (KdJd, KdTd, QdJd, Td9d, 9d8d, 8d7d are the only candidates which most of them you wouldn't turn into bluffs, or do not even 3bet frequently)
Their preflop play is already terrible. Just mark them as fish/whale/calling station and move on.

JJ TT that you turned into bluff, KJsuited, 87s maybe

I think it's well played as well. Especially against a weaker player you get a lot of value with your line.

Cheers,

I expected to see diamond draws, high PP like QQ or JJ in opponent's hand but I guess it makes sense that they would also think I had similar

What did opponent think I had here?

I think it would depend on how aggressive you've been playing at this table. Have you triple barreled a bluff or 2nd pair and been called down? It could also just be he is a calling station or if he's a reg he might be on FTG tilt. He might have put you on a draw like taavi1337 said

I totally agree with you. I think you played it very well and maybe after the flop he believed you were looking for a straight or flush and on the river even he is committed he could have think was winning with his lower A .

Keep on doing well. Good luck .

He didnot think about your hand, he saw only his top pair. Call 3B with A7o is proof ot it he doesnot think.

Villain mistakes are in preflop and turn. River call I don't mind if he thinks turn call is good. Bit indeed it takes creativity for hero to find bluffs in here and to be honest in micro limits bluffs should be likely almost non existent anyway after he calls flop.
