Totally messed up line right?

Looking back I think I should have raised flop obviously (still adjusting to 6max).

Turn I raised since I played preflop/flop as if I had an Ace...standard?

River...An ace should have bet right?

I fold preflop a lot, unless the villains are very tight defending their blinds.

I raise the flop, if he calls, and checks this turn, I check behind, to pick off a river bluff.

Pick off a river bluff? I am in position?

I realize that preflop is probably not great...just working to get a feel for how I want to play limit

I fold preflop

but the way you played it I raise the flop, bet the turn/fold to a raise.

Pick off a river bluff? I am in position?

By checking the turn, he'll bet any number of hands on the river, bluffing the A or the 9. If he has those hands, we're losing a lot to them. The turn is also a good chance for a bluff c/r, so I'd prefer just to get to showdown cheaply.

Preflop:
Against some opponents, I will fold K6 from the button
Against others, I i'll raise any two cards.

I don't mind the raise here, if you know how to play it.

Flop:
Draw heavy board.
A caller in between who is likely to be on one of those draws.
I raise this flop.

Turn:
If we think that Villain is capable of folding a good hand here (Top Pair, 2 Pair), then representing the straight with a raise makes sense.
I don't think Unknowns are capable of such a thing.
So I don't make the raise now that it's heads up.

I also don't see enough reason to raise for a free showdown.
Because I don't think this particular Villain is on the come at this point.

I call down the turn.

River:
As played, I bet this River.

Once you've raised pre-flop, i bet the flop, bet the turn and bet the river.

If he raises me on any of the streets i call and re-evaluate the next card.
