KK in SB in blind battle
 

Hate blind battles... villain is iRockhoes. I have him running at something like 26/21/2.4. He doesn't seem to squeeze and 3-bet often preflop, but *seems* to be very aggressive postflop in position (i.e. floating and bluff-raising). He has shown that he's capable of slowplaying big pairs preflop, but I don't really have to worry about that here.

3-bet the flop? Lead the turn? Considering I didn't, how's the river check? I feel like it's really hard to say what the correct moves are without being results-oriented, but without a lot of blind history I have difficulty playing these spots.

Edit out river results after you check.

I like it all.

Re: KK in SB in blind battle
 

does anyone else here like leading for like 270 on the turn?

Re: KK in SB in blind battle
 

i 3 bet flop - he's good and it looks fishy. not nearly enough money went in anywhere - no idea what your line seeks to accomplish. i'm lookin to get broke here every time. i think c/r on river here also blows unless it's a pure bluff.

Re: KK in SB in blind battle
 

fairly certain hero was going for c/c on river

Re: KK in SB in blind battle
 

Ya, just go ahead and 3-bet flop.

As played, its close. Don't think iRock is gonna bluff the river that often, and not sure how often he's vbet a Q. But given how underrepped your hand is, I think you have to c/c river.

Results?
