very often i see fish do this with monster hands that they want to get paid off. Im going to fold this readless.
I like how the rest of the hand was played.

I agree completely, this looks like a boat/trips or a flopped str8 that was hoping for a turn c/r, and now he wants it all

Hmm I think we can make it about $7 on the turn. If he calls hopefully this will set up a check-check on the river. The reason I quite like a turn bet is that we can still get value from hands we beat and we have a very easy fold to a c/r.

There is nothing wrong with the line you took though and readless I think its a fold.

I b/f turn; c/c river (not an all-in as was played).

Villan may be messing around with a worse king and could be interpreting your flop action as a cbet.

I'm much happier about folding river / turn if I've bet the turn.

If he's anything like the standard 10NL and 25NL player, there's a good chance he's got trip jacks - checking the turn because - heaven forbid - you might fold if he bet.

Yup, I HATE these lines by villains, pisses the hell out of me. It's a fold here, but take note on the opponent that he is willing to do this. A lot of these opponents have paid me off because I will try to play more pots with them.

If villain bet a normal amount its a snap call as you induced the bluff by checking the turn. HOWEVER, when villains decide to shove like this, its almost always a big hand that they feel they missed value on and are now trying to make up for it. This is definitely a fold.

Betting turn makes this hand a hell of a lot easier. You'll still get value out of KQ and maybe lower kings depending on villain. This'll also make it more likely that you can check down the river to get a cheap showdown.

Betting the turn makes your life easier. As played it's a fold
