Did I play this hand okay?
Is it right to check the river here.. Or should I be betting it?
Is this just unlucky or could I have done anything better?

    Played fine just unlucky he has better kicker, but on river just stick them all in as all possible draws missed.

    really dry board so i think long term u shud be betting river as he most likely has something to call with having called flop and turn - obv ul this time he has u out kicked

    if the flop/turn were wetter and the river bricks i actually like a check to get value from missed draws that obv wudnt call a v bet

    I'd have done exactly the same except on the river, pot is £2.36, they have £1.57 behind so i set them all in and lose more in this instance, you are outkicked this time but more times than not you will be ahead.

    Thanks for the responses guys.

    I didn't bet the river because I thought maybe she had me beat.. But no way was I ever folding.

    Had KJ a couple of hands later and lost to KQ again!! Maybe folding KJ PF is the way to go in future. :)

    At no point did you check to see where you where, she is just quite happily calling your bets so you cant get an idea of what she has, apart from the value bet on the river. I dont think u could of folded this hand but it might of been worth checking the turn to see if she shoves? Then you would know your behind. its one of those hands tho unfortunately just good job you didnt lose your stack
