KK value betting

[meep_42]

I've never played with EP before, but he's talking to a regular there and has seemed pretty good and decently aggressive in the few hands he's been at the table.

SB is fishy.

8/16 Live
Folded to EP who raises, I 3-bet from the hijack with black kings, folded to SB who calls, BB folds, EP calls.

SB checks, EP bets, Hero calls, SB calls.

SB checks, EP checks, Hero bets, SB folds, EP calls.

HU on the river for 8.5BB - 9[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]
EP checks, Hero value bets...

I've questioned every postflop street and can think of reasons for several different lines. What do you think?

I like it. Unlikely EP just bets out into Preflop 3-bettor with Aces. No need to worry about protect our hand since a flush draw isn't folding and any other hand has 2 or 3 outs at best.

I also see villain calling with a smaller pocket pair on the river.

The river is definitely a value bet, as far as the rest of the I think you played it optimally as well
