KTs UTG hand

[sy_or_bust]

8-handed with an MP2 poster and 10/15 blinds. Generally tight game I'm about to leave. Preflop is not cut and dry. Is the river standard?

MP2 is passive on every street; looks like he's trying to get to a cheap showdown to me. I think you missed a bet on the river.

I don't like pf, but i don't play 15/30 tight games so you know more than me.

River: Villian often is on a draw, but he's not going to call your value bet, but he might bluff when you check, so you make money here.

When villian has a hand like KQ, or pocket pair villian is calling down, but would bet a lot when checked too and always call when you bet. however, you should pick up a little bit from the c/r when calls. Overall, I think you earn a little less from the extra bet than you do from the value bet, but inducing the bluff earns you enough value that it makes this play worth while.
