Default KQs hits trips from OOP

Villain is a muppet and the only bad player at the table. I've been staying here solely to get (the rest of) his stack.

His stats are 33/16/1.2.

Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em, $ Hero (5 handed) converter

Button ($336.15)
SB ($947.35)
Hero ($687.80)
UTG ($276)
MP ($282.08)

Preflop: Hero is BB with Q[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], K[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]. SB posts a blind of $2.
UTG calls $4, <font color="#CC3333">MP raises to $15</font>, Button calls $15, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, Hero calls $11, UTG calls $11.

Flop: ($62) K[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], K[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], T[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(4 players)</font>
<font color="#CC3333">Hero bets $45</font>, UTG folds, MP calls $45, Button folds.

Turn: ($152) 3[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
Hero checks, <font color="#CC3333">MP bets $80</font>, Hero calls $80.

<font color="#CC3333">Hero bets $143</font>

There's lots of variations of a "bad player." I don't know which he is. I think I want more money in on the turn.

wierd bet size. his range is still pretty wide after his flop call. your check induces a lot of hands that you beat which he called with on the flop to make a bet on the turn. what do you think about a turn check-push in that spot.

$143 is all Villain has left, which is why he bet that amount.

And I like a check/raise allin on the turn as well. I'm wondering if he's playing a 10 or if he has a weak King and gets a lucky split on the river. In any case, get all the money in when you are ahead and don't wait.

the only two hands i'm worried about are AK and KT. i don't know what he called me on the flop with, but it's not nothing. i think he either has a K, paired the T, AA/QQ/JJ.

he raises any two broadway, but not suited connectors less than JT, so i'm not very worried about the flush draw...especially after he bets.

given those, i was unsure about the turn. i think that a second shot on the turn would make it obvious that i have a K and fold out the hands that i'm ahead of, but checking could get a bet out of them. i was hoping that he'd put me on a T pair or flush draw or something and bet.

when i bet the river, i was hoping that he would put me on a missed draw bluff or A-high or maybe talk himself into calling with AA or whatever.

shrug, this was a strange hand for me.

Perfect line, IMO. Exactly how I play it. I love the turn/river combo. Most people will c/r the turn but that is truly terrible.

Edit: After reading results I was not at all surprised. Nice hand. This is a very important type of hand, IMO, and I think you played it perfectly. Fim had a hand like this recently, too, and took this exact same line. It's a very good line. I hope people see why c/r on the turn is very bad.
