Hi,

another hand from 2.20$ tournament. So I get lovely KK preflop, and on the flop, I get the highest set but there are three spades. So it is time for bet, I think I could get higher sizing, closer to 2/3 of pot. Turn jus makes flop more drawy, not lovely card, now I go finally for higher sizing. A on river is not great so I decide to check. Facing all-in is not something I love but after all I call, because I beat all two pair hands with As and lower sets. Problem are flushes and T. don't love it but for call is a river card A not that bad maybe. I would probably call on blank river as well but would be less happy about it. What do you think, easy call? What would you do?

This is a interesting hand for sure. I would most likely bet the flop a little bit more on a draw heavy board like 4bb against most likely a weaker player. The rest seems fine, but not sure what he would represent with a shove. It's a reaaly weird move and is calling not to bad, but I doubt he should shove there with less than a flush or straight. This time he has weaker and it worked well for you.

Cheers,

Bet on river does not really make much sense to me to be honest. I feel like we are too often beaten and hope for check - check, or very unhappy to check-call some weaker hands. If I bet small like 10bb or bigger like 15bb then I feel like it is too good price to fold if he shavs at first and second it just shows that we are weak so it might ended in some bluffs from our opponent as well. But complicated hand for sure. Thanks for all answers...
