In my opinion, the only hands in Kuka's range here that you put him on a tough decision is KQ/KJ/QJ. IE, a legit non-PP non-ace hand. If that's the case, then either check-raising the flop or betting out on the flop would have put more pressure on him.

If you wanted to keep UTG in the hand I think betting out would have done the trick... he either has a hand he's going to call or he's not going to call just because he can seal the action (most PP 1/2ers don't think like that).

I'm not saying the check-call flop - lead turn line is bad, I just feel it's inconsistent logic.

I don't see what hands you're trying to get him to fold/not raise.

Maybe I need to think about it more, but that's all for now. I feel Kuka's one of the better players on the PP 1/2, I'd have just lead out flop and 3 bet and hope that I hit / he doesn't / some combination thereof.

Ok that's it for my once every half a year post.
