KK 3 barells line check (boring)
 

Villain is 40/12. Typical loosey 100nl player.

Does anyone check turn or river to control pot size?

looks good to me.

Re: KK 3 barells line check (boring)
 

Yes, looks fine!
but..if he goes all-in, do you call?

Re: KK 3 barells line check (boring)
 

I like the way you spelled barrels.

Re: KK 3 barells line check (boring)
 

Is it too weak to check behind on the river? You have $50 left in this pot so can hardly fold to a raise on the river so do you want to call that with an unimproved overpair?

I think betting less gets you paid off more often in this spot. Against a typical opponent he realizes he is beat here for a near PSB on river. Value bet of 25 looks good to me, and if he folds so what you didnt have to show your hand.

I probably bet less only because I want a call, and because I'd be cautious as to what he's calling with.
