Re: against river check raise
Don't discount metagame considerations if you are playing live. You're probably right that it's not all that important online at lowish levels, but I guarentee you that at 5/10 and even 3/6 there are players observing this kind of thing and looking to exploit it. It is probably better not to have players taking shots at you regularly, since it will be somewhat hard to identify who is doing this and it will give you many harder decisions (read: more opportunities for mistakes) while certainly increasing your variance.
You're probably right that an average opponent wouldn't take that line with KQ. Realize, though, that reasons #2 and #3 were sort of secondary to the major reason I gave, which is number 1. People like to get frisky in heads-up pots and do silly [censored].
