[Closed] 2$ non-turbo STT KQ oop vs 2 opponents in flushed board

Okey, this one is interesting. In my opinion your bet on the turn is not bad. The thing I do not like on how you played the hand is you taking the lead on the turn and after getting called, you check-call the river. I mean, okey, he calls back on the turn, what hand you believe now he is holding? If you think he has a flush then you should check-fold the river. If you do not believe he has a flush then you should bet again on the river. If you think you are ahead always value bet your hand. On the other hand, if you are afraid he has a flush but you are not sure and want to go to the showdown, then check-call weak bets as you suggested to keep the pot as small as possible.

Actually i think the best movement here is to fold river since the only hand i beat is KT.

he just limped in preflop so don't be surprised if his hole cards are even worse than kt.

Betting the turn for value + protection vs. 1:spade: flushdraws & worse Kx hands is definitely good, and I like your bet size.

I think I bet/fold river for value. Getting value from plenty of hands (Kx, Jx, occasionally missed draws or A-high) which wouldn't bet otherwise, and never getting reraised off the best hand imo. Check/call isn't very nice, barely any worse hands are betting here, and check/fold is just too weak I think.

Exactly this! He's not going to bluff you an awful lot here yet we have the best hand most of the time, so bet/folding is the best option at around half pot. If you check it should be with the intention of check/folding with your hand.
