my own analysis:

im not raising this flop because i figure im either way ahead or way behind. i figured calling is going to keep him bluffing at me if im ahead and im going to lose the min. if im behind.

i need to raise this turn.

river is standard i think.

I don't slow play this with KK. I raise and take this down. Won't be much action on this board unless you are beat in which case you will find out when you raise.

im not really slow playing. there is a chance here that im beat. i should have definitly raised the turn though because he bet so little.

I don't like ur analysis of not raising the flop honestly would u raise this flop in LHE. This flop must be raised always well there are exceptions but they don't apply here. We raised preflop, we are strong, a jack or 66 is all I'd be worried about. 9 out of 10 this lead out of the SB is a 6 prob A6. You are letting BB come along for a cheap ride as well this is a big no no.

Now since you didn't raise the flop. This turn bet of 0.5 into 7.5 pot is atrocious now you must raise this hand now and take it down. If there is a jack or boat you'll know but I don't think you'll see it.

Bet 1/2 pot on the river

what he said....RAISE THE TURN!

you're absolutley right on all accounts.

As a hardcore limit player, I had the same tendency as you to play wa/wb when I first started playing NL.
But it's hardly ever a good way to play, since you don't know your exact effective odds etc. like you do in limit.
