    if you didn't expect him to hold a king then you should have made a raise on the turn otherwise the best thing would have been to just fold the flop.

    the way it works but is had you did a reraise if he calls then checks to you on the turn you can than feel more confidient that he doesn't hold a K otherwise the best thing would be to fold
    as for that 10 10 well it might look good to you but when the board has only got low cards and you make a shove you will very rarely get called by anything better than a set or JJ+ so you should have just did a value bet

    Same issue as your other post imo.

    You raise either because you can make better hands fold or because you can get called by worse. At no point in this hand is there a reason to raise because you'll  makee everything that you beat fold and everything you're losing to will call.

    If you think you're 99 is good, then I just flat the flop and turn exactly the same as you and check the river back too, played perfect imo. Sometimes he'll hit his A but more often than not, he bluffs on flop and turn and sometimes even a missed river and you win a nice pot.
