First trifecta in a while (LC)

Well, they were both pretty good players. In hand one, I felt that he is capable of bluff raising the river here, and KQ is a real possibility. Hand two, he's not paying off with much here, so I want to at least induce a bluff or save a bet from a hand I'm slightly behind. I have a lot of hands played very similarly, but these are the first two that came to mind, because I got berated extra hard after these I think.

Also, I'm not trying to show off, but just show how a hand looks good when your read is spot on, but looks awful when it's not.

Tongni,

Thanks for the reply, you can see above I edited because I messed up the action in my reading of the hand. Sorry about that.

Anyway, you take this approach often? More than just slowing down on turn and then donking out on river, encouraging perhaps a bluff raise gaining you an extra bet (unless they bluff the river on your river check with your line) or costing less or the same if river raised when you are behind. You find this line works better with the OOP check?
