Should I check/Fold Turn or River?
Hi!
Since its one of the worst hands in your range its clearly ok. He will still have some Kx on the river which he will fold... targeting mostly KQ,KJ,QJ,FDs. If you intend to give up then give up on the turn since I dont think you make any better hand to fold by just betting the turn. So turnbet can be debatable but since I assume your 3b range on BB vs CO is not super wide I dont mind having a hand like this to bluff 3 streets. I like the hand!
I agree to what Dawnfalls said! Its necessary to have some hands that you can follow through with and barrel off 3 streets and this is one of your bottomhands to do so. He may still fold some Kx and K2s K7 or KJ KQ he peeled again with just to see what the River brings etc. I guess Turnbet is fine as well since he might fold out K8 K9 KJ KQ now and i don't know what its like on the micros but on higher stakes the ratio of 3bet out of the BB is normally really low that you need to be seriously afraid of being against a strong range. And betting the River also prevents you from being bluffed by a hand like 89s or 87s that he may turn into a bluff towards you on the River. This hand is fine although it might look a bit spewy but in terms of thinking in ranges its good!
Do you both say its Ok to 3 barell with this hand as a Pure Bluff From BB after the 3bet?
I usually dont 3 bet from BB vs 1 opponent except SB. But its OK to Check/Fold Turn right?
I'd rather fold KJ and KQ since if you have this hand you can be sure that Ax is probably not folding and you have no foldequity against better hands with your turnbet but having QJ you have still the chance to make him fold Kx type of hands like K8 K9 KJ KQ and you can reserve the chance to bet the river again on 7 8 9. cards that will scare him off more than they'll help him to improve with 89 or 87 which he sometimes have as suited in his range but combowise its quite unlikely.
