2/4 KK right line?

[ryanghall]

Villain is fairly loose passive. His stats are somewhere around 28/1.5/0.8 I think this is the right way to play this hand.. what do you guys think?

if he is passive then why check this turn?

[ryanghall]

Just because he is passive doesn't mean that he'll never bet it.

I checked because I want him to think he's ahead.

I like that line alot better when theres no flush draw. It'll suck if he checks behind and hits a flush. (or if he has 44 and hits a straight)

So this line might get you a small bet out of a hand that would have folded to a turn lead.

However, on this board I think it makes it really obvious what you have and allows him to stack you if hes got you beat and get away cheap if he has a one pair/draw combo type hand.

Also, iceman brings up a good point, a smart player will check a flush behind there.

I would just lead the turn for slightly more than the pot.

[ryanghall]

If I'm leading turn for a little more than pot, shouldn't I just push?

[iceman5]

I dont know why you need to overbet the pot here. I would make it $125

I like this line against an aggressive player, but not a passive one. I lead the turn for $125, making the draw(s) pay to stay in.

Ya, its an interesting line. Villan might call behind, and will call when ahead, but I think its better than just betting out again. That lets villan play better and not make a mistake. If you are making 2nd barrel bluffs, then you need to bet the turn, but if you are often betting flop, checkfolding turn then I like this line, it adds protection.

What about a check-call on the turn and a lead of about 1/2 to 2/3 of the pot on the river ?
