For me, the 5/6 suited from that position is not a good flatting hand. I’m probably folding pre-flop because there’s still too much action behind me to be playing a weak drawing hand out of position. Although you had a gutter, it’s the low end even if it hits. I would wait to play that hand closer to the button (cutoff or hijack at worst) and I would raise if it folds to me.

Unfortunately I think you found yourself in situations where your hand was “too good.” Nothing you can do. You need someone to show up with some kind of calling equity on danger boards and these guys just didn’t have it this time. If your 3-bet range is really tight, they might just be calling pre-flop knowing they have to out-flop you and, if they don’t, they know they’re auto-folding. Tough to tell without knowing your 3-bet range pre-flop.

When he checks 2 streets, I would probably bet the turn around 3/4 pot to just take down a cheap one there. Otherwise, you probably should fold this hand pre-flop and wait for a better spot.

I’m probably calling the river. There’s plenty of hands you beat in this situation (AK, Ad/X, KQ, AA). The river bet seems like an overbet to chase you away and your hand was well concealed with how it was played. It smells like trip Ks with the way the betting played out.
