Play this ok? or did I just get lucky?

Hork42

Yes, we're playing for pounds...
I feel dirty because I chased... but I had Aces. I think I would have layed them down on the turn if there had been a bet. Would this have been correct? (assuming my King outs are possibly a split pot)

I think you played it fine. Nothing wrong with betting out on the flop. You might already losing, but it's a little too soon to give up on this hand I think. Besides, you have a nice action re-draw. A weak draw to be sure, but a King falling for you will probably mean you get paid off by a lot of losing hands that had also improved.

Nice check-raise on the river, but betting out yourself would have been a valid option. Your opponents were dim enough to bet their straights into the high-card paired board. This is typical low-limit for you. Few people with big hands ("Yes! I've got a straight") pause to consider the bigger hands that may be out there. Many treat any hand that beats 2 pair as the cold nut stones. (to further warp a great Van Patten-ism...)

The only really debatable call was the one you didn't have to make on the turn. Look how nicely someone else's free card play worked out for you.

Nice hand, well played. Like Scotty said, the fact that you didn't have a decision on the turn made it easier, and I love that you had the wherewithal to go for a river checkraise... you knew that someone would bet that river, and you didn't have much time to come to that conclusion, being first to act.
