I like the line if he's a liberal bettor. I think k q no diamonds and q t no diamonds take the same line as your villain so I think perfect as played.

I play it the same. Turn lead kinda sucks cuz I'd prefer he just bluffs. I guess to protect hand?

If I bet anywhere it'd be the turn.

I'd raise this preflop to 3.5BB. It's a decent hand HU and I don't want to go to the flop not knowing if he limped w/ ATC or something decent. As played- like the flop bet, I'd shoot on the turn probably $1. I'm doing this because he could still have a flush draw and would be getting bad odds. If he's still calling, I'd check/call small bet on river.

any reads?

I think I b/f the turn, and then reeval river.

As played I'm not sure how thrilled I am with cc river, meh

i'm betting the turn here, he can have tons of draws that you should charge him for.

Default Re: KT 2 pair on scary board

My biggest question was the turn - whether I should check or bet here.

In discussing it with some other people, I think a bet/fold is the best option now because:
(a) limped pot - can string along a lot of weak kings
(b) still drawy - a queen or diamonds might come along

As far as the river goes, it REALLY felt like a value bet to me, but I decided to call getting 3:1. I think a missed flush would bet bigger to bluff. The question is - will a weak King bet this river ~ 25% of the time, or will it be less because they want to see a showdown?
