id bet the turn here if he has a set so be it.

With only a 1/2 pot sized bet left I think checking the turn is pretty silly. It's unlikely you're going to induce further bluffing from him with such little money left, and he's not going to fold anything legit after putting half his stack in. As played I would call the river, but not feel great about it.

Checking this turn is stupid and it gives him a free card if he's on a flush draw.

I dont think you can fold that river getting 3:1

[NatalieBella87]

I would call the river, not sure how often you are ahead, but I think it's often enougth.

I'm not sure I like just calling the reraise on the flop, I would normally shove or fold. If they have a flush draw they have priced themselves in. If the flush draw comes down you could get away from it easy enougth, but I also think villian could easily fold if they miss there flush draw. They are not auto-shoving the turn with a flush draw as you'll be getting 3-1 odds and they should probably think your unlikely to fold after calling a check-raise. I doubt they would evan try it on the river, in the hope that you have a busted flush draw yourself, they will be giving you just such great odds. If you think villian will normally shove a non-club turn with a flush draw and you plan on calling then it's fine. I just think you'll be getting more equity if you shove the flop and get flush draws to call then, as it is less likely you will get there money later. I would be inclined to shove rather than fold, it is close though and I could not fault you for wanting to fold.

Yeah I felt silly not betting the turn. What about the flop bet sizing? Do we ever find a fold to the c/raise? So often the c/raise is either a set or a poorly played draw. I thin it's never KQ (which makes a stronger reason to bet the turn).

youre in a 3bet pot with TPTK with a guy who has a good chance of being a complete moron. you also hold the Kc which helps. regardless though i am not folding this flop like ever in this spot.

I bet a little bit more on the flop. Like $17-$18 or so. I may just push the flop after he c/r-es here. As played,push the turn. As played, call river.
