Default Thin or too thin?

Villain is 50/22/1.5 and a donk. We have 100BB effective and i doubled him up 2 orbits earlier.

H has KK
2 folds, V calls, H raises to 90, 2 folds.

Flop: 5d2s7s
Villain c/c 170$

Turn: 4c
V c/c 380

River: 6h Pot is ~ 1300$ and ca 1250 behind
V checks, Hero?


I doubt he flopped a set or 2 pair on this flop, because he raised a flush AI with 30BB on flop.
He can show up with A7, here too.

Is this a easy check behind?

Against very bad players I bet the river again, they will just put you on AK and make a "tough" call with any pair.

with the spades missing i really think you should shove. he'll think, "you don't have a 3 or 8, so why are you pushing the river? busted flush! i call."

i think you gotta shove this.

he has a pair almost everytime here and only one of them is 88...i think it's good to have KK in your range here at any rate

and by shove i mean vbet i didnt look at stack sizes

I think I'm checking behind here, but it's real close and I don't mind a shove.

I would check. Considering that you have already doubled him up, I would think even donkeys are not going to call this big bet with A7 or something, since they expect you to have it this time. And since he limped it is very hard for him to have many combos of one pair hands that can call this bet. Also, that river card makes a few two pair hands that will never fold. I actually prefer a bet here against a better player as a two way bet, since they might fold two pair and sometimes call with one pair (if they are using some randomization to figure out calling frequencies in this spot).
