In this hand, we have coolcat82 (you) with Ad Kc in the small blind. The action folds to highroller99 (UTG) who raises to $2. You decide to call, and gambler92 (the button) also calls. The big blind and the original raiser fold.
The flop comes 6h Qd Jc. You take the initiative and make a continuation bet of $2.42. Gambler92 folds, and highroller99 calls.
The turn brings the 9s, and both players check.
The river reveals the Ts, giving you a broadway straight. Highroller99 checks again, and you make a well-sized bet of $16.17. Highroller99 folds, and you take down the pot.
Overall, the hand was played well. Calling the raise preflop with Ace-King suited is a standard play in the small blind. Your continuation bet on the flop was appropriate given the potential for a straight or flush draw. Checking the turn was a good decision since your hand didn't improve, and you didn't want to bloat the pot with a marginal hand. Finally, betting on the river with your strong straight was the right move, and you managed to extract some value from your opponent.
