Bet half pot/fold


block bet or linear (40-80) seems pretty good; against straightforward opponent we are mostly targeting weaker pocket pairs


check turn and let him stab. flop check is meaningless from both players perspectives.


Pot's 220-ish. V has 295 back. Which is kinda ehhhhh. In that, what are we gonna' bet/fold here that we don't feel we'll be priced into call?

130-140-ish on turn, much prefer a bet to 80-90 vs 40 on K227r(?) Yes, delayed cbet, paired board, wa/wb: but 40 doesn't really commit this V to anything & handcuffs us. V might feel that you're bluffing, not betting a K on that flop. OTOH, they didn't raise, so...

Anyway. We're here. You're getting called by any K, and I doubt this V is MUBSy enough to fret you've got two of them. Assuming they called turn because they have a King, may just x-fold here. Despite how much I want to shove.


I might have raised a little larger pre, like $75. Flop check seems fine. Turn bet size seems fine, when V could conceivably have some weak Kx and a lot of worse 1P holdings.

River, I'd bet. Probably around 2/3 pot, hoping to get called by all his worse 1P, and not really worrying that he'll suddenly raise, after playing the previous streets passively.
