All std, the question is either to 2nd barrel the turn on not. I decide not to do it and let the villan to bluff on some blanck cards. However, it is good to 2nd berrel the turn to charge the FD. Don't know which line is superior.

On river is a blank but villan sized too big, which is suspicious. I dont think I would do that size with Kx, probably only with K9. I don't find much 7x on his range which would call a c-bet of flop. I think most of his range would be set but the only 55,77 wouldn't slowplay on that board bc of the FD. But is sizeing is really weird. He could have slowplayed, something, but I know what. I never put him on a range like 64, or 86 which make a straight.
TT-JJ would make that sizeing on the river. The only too options which I think I more common I has is 99 and K9.

Couldn't find a fold. But it was a gross spot.

If he would check the river again, I would thin value bet/fold against a raise to extract value from Kx (and maybe he could find a hero call with TT-JJ)

You have the tendency of getting too shy with your value hands imo. Bet flop for value. Bet even bigger. 180-190. Plenty of worse to call. Turn-a very clear value bet. He can call so many hands you crush! If he re-raises, then it's a different story and I prolly fold, but I expect this to happen rarely.

I go 3 barrel for value here. As played-a must call on the riv. You underrepped your hand. He has missed draws as well as worse value hands.

It is not the fact that I an shy to value hands. The point is as you mentionned to underrepped my hand and let the villan try to bluff. I can't have 3 streets of value. I don't think so, but if I cbh the turn I can get many trash to bluff as well as Kx. Furthermore the board isn't drawy I am not afraid of any card.

If he had a strong king prolly he would donk the flop or either c/r and that's a different history.

On flop I bet small since a dry board and the guy is regish and vs them I try to play really balanced. And so if I do it as pure bluff with Ah I do as well with the top of my range. I don't like to give information away about my hand.

Probably if I 2nd barrel that turn he would call with Kx, but If I cbh I am almost 100% sure to extract value on river either he takes the lead or he c/c with the Kx (the only case where the action will be cut was on an Ace river, but there is only two left).
