400nl: crazily odd hand I played/bluffed- 200bb deep

[snowbank]

I have about $800, villan covers. I pick up KcJc in the co and 3 bet villans pf raise from utg+1. Folded around and he calls.

Flop: Tc7c7s

He checks, I bet $65, he raises to $185.(my notes on him indicate he's an aggressive player, and his line+notes make me feel like in this spot deep he has little to nothing here. I debate 3 betting but I think it would make my line look pretty suspicious this deep, and I have him playing oop the rest of the hand and think I may get to see my draw free. I call

Turn: 3s

He checks, I check behind.

River: 2h

He checks. I pot it for $470.

Thoughts?

i don't like it. i think you're getting called 75% or more here with any 10, 88-JJ. i like raising to $500ish on the flop, or just dumping it. as played, i think you're def. facing a strong probability of a call.

I don't like it. Would you really check turn and then pot river with AA/KK?

[minnesotasam]

I have no idea what you're repping.

its a muscle bluff. if he can read hands AND he is willing to stake stacks on his gut, you will get called.

You should only bet enough here to get him to fold ace high because hes not folding many pairs. So I much prefer a bet of 250-350.

there is no need to bet so much, because he is almost always calling with any ten and definatley any seven. Bet 1/2-3/4 of pot. I might even bet turn, right? then you can def push him off a ten, and it doesn't look like he has a seven.

If you have a cautious, nitty image then this will often work because it does look like pot control with a hand that is worth 3 streets of value. It is easier to put the PFR on a big pair with this line than a flush draw.

However, my experience is that the reason to play a big pair this way is because it most often gets value from weak made hands. That is, you get called.

I either check behind river and hope my K high is good, or (probably better) bet the turn because you have a ton of river outs if he has a 10. You might fold out A-high with your river bet.

Why is it so unresonable that villian would have CR bluffed the flop and then given up. He is aggressive right? I don't think it's nearly as bad as others are saying.

It's still a tough call for villian to make with 88/99.
