KK versus unknown

[cassette]

Villain is unknown.

My plan was to c/r AI on the turn as he only has $113 left at that point. But then he makes a really small turn bet and it seemed like too much of an overbet to shove.

I shove the river thinking this guy seems really bad from this hand and might call me with worse but will probably check behind with hands I beat. I don't think I can fold despite the gross board as he only has 1/3 of the pot left.

Horrible board, you're only really beating KJ/AJ. That said I kind of understand the river push. Against an unknown I'd rather 3 bet the flop to get a better feel for where I am.

[allingator]

What about just reraising the flop.

[cassette]

Why reraise the flop? The board isn't scary yet and this minraise is often air, sometimes a big hand. I can comfortably c/r AI on the turn if he makes anything close to a reasonable bet. This way I get the most from air/top pair.

True. Personally, I don't like being fancy against complete unknowns. That said, I think the way you played it is definately profitable.

What did you put him on after his turn bet?

[allingator]

I don't mind your call and c/r all in on the turn line. I think you just go through with it even if its a obscure looking over bet because then it looks more like a bluff that may be called down by top pair in some cases especially at 1/2. I think you could even do a bluffy looking shove on the flop and hope they look you up with a jack.

just c/shove the turn.

[Fishhead24]

All in with open ended ST. on the board?

Are you serious?
