River looks like an easy check. As it is I think calling flop and checking to him twice is fine as an overall plan, he's probably full of [censored] on the flop a high % of the time, or he has a slowplayed big PP that he will bet for you. I'd raise flop small though if you think he's the type to raise there for value/protection/showdown with like 77/99/TT and won't put any more money in the pot voluntarily. I think it's worth maximizing against those hands if he can have them here, as big PPs are less likely due to PF and he won't bluff THAT often once you call the flop.

make it 3k on the turn and shove the river. he's underbet the turn so grossly that even this relatively small raise should draw him in unless he has total garbage. i mean, build a [censored] pot already, get his stack. he bets less on the turn than he did on the flop and you just call. i think that's criminal.

I think this is right. Calling here is really really suspicious. Make it look like you are trying to take it away from him with his weak turn bet, and build a pot at the same time. He is probably not going to get too frisky on the river anyway with that weak bet unless he hit something anyway.

i like building this pot on the flop so betting or c/r turn isnt so difficult

I like it as played thus far. Lead the river for half pot, representing a bluff?

as played I like a river check/shove. I think if he does have a king, he's certainly betting it for value, and so is a hand like QQ/JJ and air might bet too, but that turn bet seems like a pretty weird size for complete air. I think lft nailed it with the bigger flop bet. Obv once he makes that retarded turn bet I hate that we didn't lead ourselves, but I mean, to all those saying build the pot, does he really have a hand that can call a raise here? I mean, if he has a hand, calling, and check/shoving the river is going to get all the chips in and maximize value from a lot of weaker hands imo.
