I'm going to add my thought process after a few responses

oh edit: villain really tanked on the river.

[wslee00]

are you betting 2 at the end to induce a bluff? if so, I guess that's a valid play. Please tell me you called that river.

Why'd you check the flop?

[acidca]

Flop check is to keep the pot small. I don't want to stack off to AK/KQ. The river is indeed to induce a bluff.

[Shaddux]

Given that you wanted to induce a bluff on river, I guess this is fine.

Reads? I want to know whats going on pf. I usually don't light 3bet this type of hand.

[orange]

you have to call river after inducing the bluff. i might c/c the river instead, not sure.

i dont like pf as much. KJo is a lame hand to RR with.

[Fazz86]

I dont like the RR with KJo out of the SB.

I would call the river.

Am I the only one who thinks this is 88?

If you were worried about AK/KQ you shouldn't have reraised preflop. As played, you absolutely have to follow through with a flop bet. Otherwise it looks like you are giving up on the pot after a failed resteal attempt.

You might be right. If he has a K or a decent PP I don't see how he doesn't bet the flop.
