$3/6 KK hand vs stdjog12 with sidepot
 

Villian is stdjog12. I don't really know much about him, but seems LAG. Thoughts on him / my play? I can't get the converter to work but whatever. Also, nothing about the sidepot dude.

About $800 effective stacks.

Were you intending to c/r the turn?

I keep thinking a blocker here is good, but I'm not so sure. The protected pot makes this quite tricky.

Bet the turn river is an easy fold.

Re: $3/6 KK hand vs stdjog12 with sidepot
 

I raise flop and raise turn. I probably call the river but I can't fold/

Re: $3/6 KK hand vs stdjog12 with sidepot
 

i think the flop and the turn were played to passively, with that said on the river your probably beat and it doesnt look like you have the odds to call

Re: $3/6 KK hand vs stdjog12 with sidepot
 

I'd minraise the flop, or make it 200. You really have to bet the turn though. And I'd probably blockbet the river given how you got there. Not sure why you're so afraid of his range, JJ/QQ make up a good part of it.

Re: $3/6 KK hand vs stdjog12 with sidepot
 

I'd raise flop or bet turn. Doesn't need to be too much given the dry sidepot, maybe a raise to 200 on the flop (could consider folding to a push, i'm not sure - your hand is pretty face up at this point), or bet 200 on the turn.

Re: $3/6 KK hand vs stdjog12 with sidepot
 

Raise flop, shove turn or do something. As played, wow, insta-muck river.

Re: $3/6 KK hand vs stdjog12 with sidepot
 

River is an easy fold. He's not going to value bet top pair or QQ here into an empty sidepot like this. IT's also obv not a bluff. I would bet the turn and call his allin on the turn.

Re: $3/6 KK hand vs stdjog12 with sidepot
 

i dont like this line at all. what hands will the villain push to an empty side pot on the river? i can only think of hands that beat you.

raise flop and/or bet turn as others pointed out.
