I don't know if i fault his call here. He already had 2.30 in the pot which means you were asking him to pay 8.70 more to see it. He does have a small pocket pair and it may be profitable to call here depending on your table image. (What was your table image?) Also a small pocket pair like this is really easy to get away from if there is nothing on the flop. Also if he thinks u have overcards he may be hoping for a low flop to try and push you out. As for your post flop play i would say a raise of about 22.00 would get you the same information here. If he calls your 22.00 raise post flop you know he has something but u may be able to slow it down till the river so that you would lose less. Betting 50.00 here does nothing other than get you called by a superior hand. With Aces or Kings its especially hard to decide what to do post flop in some instances...Its all about your reads on people and what you think would be the right move. IMHO it is better to win a small pot with kings than lose a big one, so try to win more small pots if thats the only way to avoid losing the big ones. Tough break though man.
