anyone think a call is better?

Re: Nuts on the turn, raise or call in pos?
 

You've left it quite late to build the pot, so gotta raise. Maybe not so big if you want to make sure he gets taken to showdown. I don't like a call here.

Do you always check this flop?

i dont always check, just felt it was right vs this guy. I made it that size so I could push river

Re: Nuts on the turn, raise or call in pos?
 

your raise really polarizes your range unless you have alot of history. Raising is obv fine, but i think calling is a bit better. Game flow dependent though.

give him room to 3-barrel, he won't be value betting here that often, i mean, he can't really call your raise with anything, except a set drawing to FH. I don't think he slowplayed a set on that flop btw, so that pretty much leaves us hoping he has the Qs and some brain damage to go with it. Unless he is really aggro or we have some metagame of raising each other a lot or station city I'd call behind.

Not too much wrong with raising to mix it up, bc I think he is C/F often on the river

Id imagine hed be expecting you to bet all Ks hands on the flop so I like raising to let him make a mistake with QxQs AxQs JxJs
