Playing 1/2 6 handed last night an interesting hand came up.
The opponent in question was an average player for this level - neither fish nor shark. He'd been playing LAG but had tightened up after I played back at him on a bluff and got lucky with the flop, then called him down with AK and hit the king on the river. He's peeved that I've got lucky a couple of times, but aware that I'm not an idiot.
I get KK (no heart) and raise preflop. Villain calls from big blind.
Flop 3 low two hearts. He check calls.
Turn heart queen. Check - bet - call.
River brings a fourth low heart. He checks.
Should I bet here to get a low heart to fold?
More general question, which hearts would you bet?
