KK line check

[Mercman572]

Villain's a Lag, but no incredible read. I've only seen him play 20 hands or so and he's in the ballpark of 35/10/2.5

Turn and River are debatable. A bigger bet may not get a call if he's got a 10, he could check behind if I check it and there are too many draws. I checked planning on calling any bet from a missed draw.

Good. Maybe bet 7 on the turn, doesn't really matter all that much though.

[Mercman572]

yeah hoped that a smaller bet on turn would mean a smaller pot and thus smaller value bet if villain has me beat on the river

[PokerFink]

I prefer the attitude: I want to bet bigger so that I stack this fool on the river.

Flops good, turn is bad for reasons stated above.

I fold the river against some opponents.

Good Point. He stacked me 2 hands before when I got it in PF against him with KK against his AA so I was momentarily shook

I don't think I can checkfold this as played

Why do we check the river if we call an all-in bet? Are we trying to induce a bluff?

Yep. Hero's line looks like missed overs/missed spades. Villain should bet quite a few hands after our river check that he would have folded if we bet out. I don't think leading on the river folds any hands that beat us.

Advantages of leading with a push: If villian has a piece of the board, such as AT, he might call.

Advantages of check/calling: If villian has a missed draw, he may bluff.
