I don't really see any other way to play this...standard? i would fold the river if he bet closer to pot.

Yeah. Well played all around. His minraise (based on his stats), could mean something [censored] like K8 or K3.

i think villain has Kx often enough to bet the turn

[luckybacon]

id 3bet this flop all day.

Seems fine to me.

However, I think an argument can be made for betting the turn. If you always check here w/ these hands, then it will be pretty obvious when you have a flush in this spot.

I'm not saying always bet the turn, but I think you should a certain % of the time.

i thought FDs were in his range on the flop, so i opted to go for pot control and try to get to showdown when the flush hit on the turn.

yeah, i think i couldve 3-bet but i dont think its the only option.

[Phoenix1010]

3 bet.

[napkins]

i would include FD's in his range as well. but, if you check the turn you're going to be facing a bet on the river if he has Kx or a flush. so, you might as well charge him on the turn for the times if he has Kx. if you get c/r, then you were drawing dead anyway.

also, were you planning to bet the river if checked to? if so then it is definately better to bet this turn

[Speedlimits]

3bet the flop probably since the board is drawy.

I think you played it the 2nd most optimal way though.
