Where do I stop spewing... or am I spewing at all?

I don't know why you don't cap the flop.

Unless UTG manages to be a LAG, he's not capping here with anything that beats you. Capping range is generally AA-KK, sometimes QQ and AK. I would [censored] a brick if he capped with KQs.

Based on the way the hand played out, you might be up against AK with the K[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], but his aggression on the river is off-putting. He might be overplaying top 2.

Really the only hands you are scared of here are K[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]Q[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] or JT, neither of which are capping hands preflop. There's no way he has JT and played it so aggressively, either.

I take him to the felt.

I felt confident I was way ahead except against KxKs, so I wanted to add some deception to my hand by playing the flop weird.

I should have gone for a turn c/r I think. Should I be slowing down on the river though?

do you see what is wrong with this statement

Becuase I'm way ahead of KxKs too, ok let me rephrase - I thought KxKs was the only hand I had to worry about

I don't see myself slowing down on this river. The only thing that the river brings that beats you is broadway, and I dont see UTG capping with JT preflop enough for it to negate the times he has KxK[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] or QxQ[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] and pays you off.

His turn behavior really negates JT, as even the cap is excessive for someone who has J[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]Tx.

If you're behind, its most likely to K[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]Q[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], K[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]J[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], Q[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]J[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], or J[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]T[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]. I don't see UTG capping with these hands preflop. He's out of position against two others.

Barring any reads to the contrary, I think going to war on every street here is +EV.

Cap the flop.

I don't slow down until he caps the turn.

well yes and no. say they have KKs and the spade comes on the turn, you are only ~2-1 to improve to a full house or quads on the river, so you really need to pump that pot on the flop and on the turn

Thanks for the responses - some results

Turns out the guy was 68/20/4 maniac, he had 7s6s in the hand and my hand was no good
