$1/2 Hero is effective @ $200, straddles BTN for $4. Table has been a bit more sticky and aggro than normal.

Trying to post at least 1 hand from every session. This was an interesting spot as I loose-dummied into a really good spot and want thoughts on how to max value it.

SB calls (Reg - ABC, slightly more aggressive)
MP calls (Reg)
MP+1 calls (YWG) - I don't know the guy. Gives off the vibe that he probably crushes his buddies in nickel / dime dealers choice at home but while not uncomfortable at the table, clearly isn't an experienced player. That being said I think he thinks he's above average

H checks back w/ T6o.

Flop ($15)
K65r

Checks to Hero, Hero leads for $15 'knowing' that SB and MP don't have K's and even if they call they're nearly also folding to turn bullet. SB and MP fold, MP +1 calls.

Turn ($43)
6r - Bink!

MP+1 checks, My thought was that if I fire large again I could lose MP +1, but if I bet $15 again I could induce. So I bet $15 and MP +1 does exactly what he's supposed to and reraises to $45. H? I have no fear that I'm behind. Really think MP +1 has a weak K. Does it make more sense to flat the $45 and then fire the river or should we be bumping it up on with a 3b?

Let's assume our opponent has a weak K: Do we make more money by 3betting the turn, thus giving our opponent the chance to fold his hand? Or, do we make more money by calling the turn & potentially getting paid on the river, either by our opponent betting into us or calling our bet? To me, it's clearly the latter. If he's so bad that he will get all in with his Kx on the turn, then the same is quite likely on the river, barring the rare bad card coming off. I also like to give him a chance to bluff in case he's getting crazy with some sort of draw.

Flat the turn raise. Keep his range as wide as possible, knowing we won't miss any bets since we're in position and stacks aren't particularly deep (SPR of 1 going into river)

Flat turn, if you thought you had FE pre-bink then it makes no sense to think they'll pay off a 3b. Leading river doesn't make any sense because there's no real draws besides 78. Have to x/r river and hope he's as sticky as your read says he is.

I dont really like calling the turn, we can always raise small, like to 35-40 and get a lot of calls
