Default Trip Ks + 2nd Nut flush draw vs donk Deep

Villian seemed to minraise quite a bit but I never saw any of the hands he was doing it with. He was involved in a lot of pots.

PokerStars Tournament, Big Blind is t400 with t25 antes (9 handed) Converter on pregopoker.com

UTG (t10411)
UTG+1 (t11130)
MP1 (t16320)
MP2 (t4700)
MP3 (t2716)
CO (t29142)
Button (t4145)
SB (t10375)
Hero (t21091)

Preflop: Hero is in BB with Q[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] K[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]
<font color="gray">UTG folds</font>, <font color="gray">UTG+1 folds</font>, <font color="gray">MP1 folds</font>, <font color="gray">MP2 folds</font>, <font color="gray">MP3 folds</font>, <font color="red">CO raises to t1200</font>, <font color="gray">Button folds</font>, <font color="gray">SB folds</font>, Hero calls t800

Flop: (t2825) K[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 2[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 8[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] (2 players)
Hero checks, <font color="red">CO bets t1600</font>, Hero calls t1600

Turn: (t6025) K[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] (2 players)
Hero checks, <font color="red">CO bets t2000</font>, Hero calls t2000

River: (t10025) 7[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] (2 players)
<font color="red">Hero bets t3600</font>, <font color="red">CO raises to t7200</font>, Hero calls t3600


I considered c/ring the turn but figured that screamed "I have a K". Anyone rr the river? Other thoughts?

Check call the river maybe? He has acted strong. Some ppl are just too scared to bet enough. Well, in this situation he just might be too dumb to bet enough or trying to induce a call from u.

I often reraise preflop, especially if this is a lower buy in (&lt;$40) where people don't resteal from CO raises enough. You will be able to take the hand down a lot preflop and most of the time that he whiffs the flop too.

I probably lead the flop for a pot sized bet because I hate to check-call the flop and then lead the turn. That said check-call is also fine with a good hand and a good draw.

As played I probably check call the turn too.

As played, I check the river because I want him to fire pot with the naked ace of spades. I am not checking the river because I am scurred of him having a better hand than me but because he is value betting thin and he is bluffing with a spade.

The way I play this hand involves a lot of betting and raising and no checking and or calling (unless it's calling all in).

So Cornell are you advocating a check/raise on the river then?

I check-call the river because I don't think that KJ is paying off a check raise.

My check on the river is primarily for value.
