Default Re: Free showdown or value bet? Party 10/20

Yes! I understand your points here, but some of what you are saying seems to want a river value bet and some wants a free showdown. Although that might be a reaction to my confusing line of raising the turn and not being sure of river action.

My reasons for the turn raise were:
1.) it seemed unlikely a K would checkraise the flop, so many worse hands might still call a raise and some better hands couldn't 3bet so I'd lose the same as if I just called down.
2.) i could easily fold to a 3bet
3.) i could take a free showdown against a better hand for the same price as calling down, but give a hand with out a hard time.

So hands like JJ, QQ (which may or may not have 3bet), A7 and AQ are all in range for BB and might have played this way up to his turn bet. Add those to various other 7s and lower pairs and the turn raise made sense. There are some weak Ks that might have played this way too.

I'm just spouting disjointed thoughts here at this point.

I ended up wimping out and checking. BB had 87, and I immediately realized I should have probably bet, given the turn raise.
