2000 Hands @ 9.95 BB/100

I may try to squeeze in a late session late tonight. I happened to stop precisely at the 100 hands/day rate, but given that my weekend will be occupied, I should probably get those hands in sooner rather than later. Sadly, I ran into a lot of sets in this 200 hand session, so I'm down from where I was before, but still overall running quite hot. I'm only going to post one hand.

Hand #1:

PokerStars 0.25/0.50 Hold'em (5 handed) Poker Stars Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: HTML)

Preflop: Hero is SB with Kh, 2h. UTG posts a blind of $0.35.
UTG (poster) checks, MP calls, Button calls, Hero completes, BB checks.

Flop: (5.80 SB) 2c, 3s, Kd (5 players)
Hero bets, BB folds, UTG calls, MP folds, Button raises, Hero 3-bets, UTG folds, Button calls.

Turn: (6.40 BB) 5d (2 players)
Hero bets, Button calls.

River: (8.40 BB) 5c (2 players)
Hero bets, Button calls.

Given the action, button is sitting on a king most of the time. What this means is that on the river, I have been counterfeited and I lose. At the time, I decided to bet hoping to see a medium pocket pair or something, but in retrospect that was highly erroneous. I should definitely check, and while I would like to think I can check-fold, most likely I end up check-calling in hopes to catch a bluff from said medium pocket pair. But really, I would prefer to get to showdown for zero bets.
