Villian's first hand. He posted UTG. Never played with before.

I hate poker.

Push, he's 75BB behind at start of hand.

you're probably behind. i don't have the discipline to fold so i call and get it all in on turn cause at least then a worse king might get it in.l

I'm weird, but I check this flop a lot.

Checking this flop is not weird at all. Probably actually standard.

why bet so big on the flop? 25-30 sounds good. Without any reads on this guy you can fold or call his minraise and see what he does on the turn.

nobody ever folds anyways, and I get raised less when I bet bigger.

According to my min raise poll (although I have to say there certainly weren't thousands of responses) the most common* reason for the min raise is they have the nuts.

The second most common is they're trying to draw cheaply. It doesn't look like a draw would raise you on this board, so you're probably beat.

*The "I am a doofus" selection was actually the most popular response, but what the heck.

Doubt checking is standard.

I usually call these or push
