NL5 Kings facing a check raise

I would bet bigger on the turn, potentially overbet ~18BB or so. The 7c doesn't improve too many of their hands, still no straight available for them.

Block betting on the river is not ideal: when you "reopen the action" as they say in YT videos, you give villain the opportunity to check/raise you. So, you don't want to do this for only 1/3 of the pot. You can probably bet a bit more than 1/2 pot and still get called by their Q.

Check/raise on the river @ microstakes --> turbofold.

I don't get it.

What you mean I give villain opportunity to check/raise me?

Yeah size up especially OTT. Villain is capped and has a lot of bluffcatchers, so doesn't make a lot of sense to try keep the pot small with strong hands. OTR you are looking to get called by a queen, so size up here as well. As played I'm probably folding

If your opponent never bluffs this isn't an issue. If he is capable of check raising bluffs and value you are risking the guaranteed % of the pot you get by checking.

Pretty much. Bet, bet, bet, ****, fold

Bigger on the river, river is a bet fold imho. As played, still a fold.

Maybe if this was BTN vs BB and my flop cbet was smaller (1/4-1/3), I could have be convinced to disregard the line read that this is massively underbluffed and find a call, mainly because the value range "looks" so concentrated towards 8x, lacks the # of rivered boats I guess an optimal player would still have, and it makes sense for them to have floats ending up as air by this river. Narrow value range + loads of missed draws to turn into a bluff = call.

With that said, I believe calling the x/r would be a big leak, and not only because of the MDA, if we think villain is a resonable reg. He would be bluff xraising into an uncapped range for the most part without repping much, and I don't think reasonable regs would try to bluff us here, but instead exploitatively going the opposite: never x/r bluff imho.
