First post: Pocket kings on a decent flop
 

First post, so I' not sure if I've got all this stuff right. A bit about me: I make all my poker money playing SnG's, invest it into ring games and then lose it all. I'm not sure why and thats why I've joined 2+2... hopefully I can give soemhing back, though I dont know what.

On to the hand. The table has a lt of limpin and calling, someone raised 4bbs earlier and got 5 callers. Te particular players I have no reads on, but it shoud be noted its not impossible they are playing rags

Blinds: $0.05/$0.10

I'm checking here, I havent a clue where we're at so best to keep this pot small.

I notice from the final pot size you did not value bet river. Why?

I'm OK with checking turn, but most rivers I'm putting in a value bet. Just wondering.

I guess I messed up my post, but I'll say this wihout giving anything away

Thats not the final pot size, and more cards and action come.

Ignoring the error I made, what do we do here? Lets say we check as you suggest and face a bet? We throw kings away easily? I know discipline is important, but is checking here inducing a bluff?

I'd probably call a turn bet on this board unless I had a reason to believe I was behind.

I dont think you're going to see many bluffs into 2 opponents. I'm not sure how easily I could throw away KK readless, I probably would to a large bet. I think it's important to check here for pot control.
