5/10 Inducing bluff with KK on A high board
 

Villan is about 23/19/4 and is highly capable of bluffing. I play with him a lot so I was about 95% sure he didn't have AK when he just called my 4-bet preflop. My experience vs. him in these situations is he either shoves or folds. Therefore when the Ace came I wasn't so concerned. He could be slowplaying AA or KK but JJ and QQ make him his range most of the time here. I thought that he thought I had AK so he would see a flop before putting his whole stack in. I felt he would try and bluff this A-high board at me if he thought I had a pair under A so I tried to induce this by checking behind. Turn was great for me because if he had QQ or JJ with a spade this would be a great spot for him to try the bluff. Does this whole thought process look/sound reasonable?

Also, in PokerStove I put in AA, KK and QQ/JJ with 1spade in his range and I'm ahead 65-35. If I take out JJ I'm 52-48. So this data reaffirms my thoughts on the hand even more.

seems fine, 4 bet is a bit large imo

i cant see how he can have an ace here unless he has AA, he would push AK

looks good

I like it, very good thinking. The Ks gives you some cover in case you misread him or he does have AAA (hopefully AcAh!) too...

yeah, this is good. $375 looks even better pf though.

if you bet the flop, it is a gigantic leak. i dont see how this hand is anything but standard.
