You bet the flop strongly to make a chaser pay. No prob.
The turn bet was a bit weak but I guess you feared a made hand. And you didn't get raised so I'm not convinced her hand is much better than top pr or 2pr.
I'm guessing she checked the river as you didn't say. Again a sign of weakness from her. I'd bet here (half pot?) as you are so likely best and many 2nd best hands call. I'm thinking straights and trips. There's a risk you'll get CRd but I'm not convinced that means you are beat and she hasn't really shown any aggression here. There are four hands that beat you (ok five but only 2 likely ones) against several that could plausibly call. If I had to guess, I'd say she had KT.
Yeah they did check the river.
There were a few hands I was putting them on, and by the turn I figured I was a head and was trying to get them to stay.
However K-Q would cause me serious problems on the river and I thought there was a possibility that they could have that, so even thought I made the full house on the river I was still not totally happy with the hand.
in the long run, i'd say you make more by betting and risking a CR than by letting a good but 2nd best hand go to showdown for free. would i call a CR here? 'it depends'
The only thing that I am worried about is KK, QQ or KQ.
If raised, I'm allin cause I doubt from the play that the above hands were there.
My suspicion is Molly hit her str8.

oopss, sorry, misread your hole cards. (been doing that alot today, not a good day)
1/2pot bet. If she has it she'll come over teh top on you. If not, she'll bail.
if you intend to fold to a raise, i'm not sure how much you'd bet in this case.

AK was one of the hands I put him on, so I was glad my read was correct. I was really troubled because KQ or A-10 were other possible hands and the second made it a lock for me against A-K and A-10 but just lost me the pot against K-Q
Nice read, Chris. Just don't start that crap during league games!!
The funny thing about this hand was I decided that I was going to leave just as the blinds were going to come around; I picked this hand UTG and played it. As soon as I won the hand I left the table, so it was kind of a hit and run.
I don't find the board that scary, I feel like I am ahead here. The guys has been a total calling station through the whole hand and has given you no reason to believe he started off with KK, QQ, KQ or KJ. Hey if has K4 then its just going to cost you. A $32 pot I would probably throw out $10-$15 on the river hoping for a call. If he moves in then my chips hit the pot before his. If I'm beat, tough luck, I reload. Your read says he is solid but passive which doesn't give me much. You mean TP?

Greg, when was the last time you had THAT many M's??
Please bet more on the turn next time. Your bet is too weak.
As played I'd push the river and hope a King calls. After all this *is* only .25/.5 NL. His play looks like a King or a draw and you're probably not getting any more money out of a draw at this level anyways. (Checking and hoping he bluffs is an alternative but people often just aren't aggressive enough at this level) Most players at this level can't get away from Kx here. If he has a higher full house go broke.
