Re: Last one....induce a bluff?
 

genearly in that game there isnt much bluff inducing. And this definitly definitly is not the spot. The chances of him having 10's-k's and calling a river bet is about 95% more likely then him having kq or kj high and bluffing. In fact if he bets id say its 90% he thinks hes value betting and u have to checkraise.

If I'm checking it's with the intention of checkraising.

Re: Last one....induce a bluff?
 

i like betting here. Its almost as if he's trying to get you to bluff. It feels like he has a mid to high pair, bets the flop and decides he'll take a showdown for just 1 more big bet instead of opening himself up to the possibility of being checkraised. I bet here because i see him checking behind with JJ too often.

Re: Last one....induce a bluff?
 

This looks like a pretty lousy place to induce a bluff to me. He's already shown that he's probably not in love with his hand by checking the turn. Also, he hasn't been given a particularly great opportunity to bluff; that five is not very scary all things considered.

I'd just bet because I think he pays you off with worse hands way more often then he bluffs.

I prefer betting this river, with checkraising a second. If it's one of those other overthinking cool guys, he might now valuebet KK-TT.

Guess KQ was no good.

Re: Last one....induce a bluff?
 

I guess I'm an overthinking cool guy because I would value bet KK-1010 if I was the button. Why? -- because I may get paid off by any pair after the turn is checked through.

Heck even OP was planning on check-calling not check-raising, increasing the value of a river bet by the Button. Given OP checked, a river check-raise is a good play but it's good because it's not common. Therefore Button should value bet KK-1010, imo.
