I have no idea why villain didn't just get it all-in but if he actually got to the FLUSH in that action he's horrendous.

It's tough to know what he's holding, but you're behind basically all Ks but K9-K7, K4-K2 (which he probably doesn't have). You're ahead of 99+, except for QQ. 66 could be milking you.

I think it's a check/call, too marginal to bother getting the other ~$15 in.

Bet more on the flop. B/c the turn. After you c/r the turn, shove the river yourself. Raise to a normal size preflop. OMG this hand is a train wreck.

As played, call if you think you are ahead 21.333% of the time (odds you need for calling in the first place to be +EV) but not more than 50% of the time (odds you need for sticking in money beyond just calling to be more +EV than calling). Just jam the other $15 in if you think you are ahead more than 50% of the time.

Just call, he seems really bad so he might kave K2 or something.

Not sure why you went for a CR on the turn, with an agg factor of 1 and a VPIP of 37 I just keep betting.
