i dont understand why you check the flop?

turn was ok.
and river call is spew i think, you are beat.

i think the check on the flop messed everything up.
i might be wrong, but what was your reasoning behind it?

[gumpzilla]

His line doesn't make much sense for anything other than a boat or a bluff and your river bet looks weak enough that I think you're inducing some bluffs, so I guess this is all okay. (I don't think enough players at these levels are going to read you for something marginal and decide to value bet KK in this spot.)

because he is a reg and most regs c-bet like 98% of their range in this spot. I'm never leading with a bluff here so it doesn't make sense to lead with TP here

[traz]

river bet should be higher, as played I probably call because I can't put him on a hand that beats you

[bozzer]

if he's a reg and you bet 1/3 pot on this river, you gotta call the shove.

I fold this preflop against a player with those stats. This hand plays ass out of position with a player who is going to cbet the flop a majority of the time. I like 3 betting to 8.5 sooooo much more than cold calling with this hand (Fold&gt;3bet&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;call). Also you need to have the attempt to steal blinds and continuation bet stats set up on your hud.

Folding this pf is horrible when it is pretty obvious he is trying to isolate a limper. What exactly do you think 3-betting here gains?

[traz]

folding pf is not horrible
