I think it's fine, turn/river are huge scare cards and we can get him to fold most of his range. If he calls AK/AA/KK he's a donkey.

I'm sorta meh about it. I don't think he folds anything ever, but hey if you put all your money in first, he can't wait for you to check to bluff you!

People look up goofy lines much more often than straightforward ones. That being said I don't hate your flop and turn line--I think it can be done occasionally with air and occasionally with the flush draw. I think he will be folding alot of two pair hands.

Anyway I think this is the worst river card to bluff (aside from the ace of course) For two reasons -- It doesn't seem like either of you would show up with a ten here. Therefore if he doesn't put you on a ten, then he only has to be afraid of the flush.

I think the king rolling off is a good card for you to bluff, and he probably knows that. While a flush is no more likely for you, a triple barrel is also a part of your range.

You seem to do a lot of cold calling PF with KQ and KJ. Puts in you in a lot of akward spots.

Not sure about this, Iīm pretty bad at oop from bb, but is donking the flop part of a good balanced strategy? Isnīt it hard to make that work without making your checks really weak?

Think he calls river when he calls turn. Likely with a set, possibly with the nut flush. Also, if he has QJ or something like that he will probably check it down if you check so you can actually win sometimes without shoving.

You could 2. barrel turn instead of checking too as your hand looks like a draw on the flop.

after he decides to bet the turn in spite of: you flop donk and flushcard - then CALL your check raise (indicating more strength) I do not think he is ever ever ever folding any river card.

coldcalling PF with KQ and KJ is the way to play em as a standard imo. it does put u in boring spots but whatever, its poker and its not supposed to be ez.
