I like it. But I wonder, would a small donk like bet on river induce a bluff from villain?

You don't have the nuts, DUCY? [img]/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img]
I'm usually betting the flop, a king will call, and if neither of them have a king or better, it's hard to extract that many chips in any case. Guess some of the same goes for the river-hard to get any money if he doesn't have a king, but a smaller pair will perhaps call a smaller bet?

Agree with Rockstar. I think I make it maybe 200-300 to try to sell it on the river.

Also, a nitpick: QQ is not the nuts here. KK is the nuts, KQ is a better boat. But you've definitely got the best hand here, so kinda moot.

Start building the pot on the flop. Tons of hand are going to call you there.

After reading Rex's post, I realized we had position (apparently I can't read). I like a flop bet too, maybe 1/3-1/2 pot.
