Hi, Villian again, and again, and again unknown. Sorry!

PokerStars 100 NL Hold'em (9 handed) HandRecorder v0.9c

Stacks & Stats
UTG+1 ($17)
UTG+2 ($42.85)
MP1 ($143.50)
MP2 ($24)
MP3 ($29)
CO ($109.55)
BB ($115.25)
SB ($125.50)
Hero ($101.50)

Preflop: Hero is BU with K♣, A♠
2 folds, MP1 raises to $3, 3 folds, Hero raises to $11, 1 folds, BB calls $10, 1 folds.

Flop: ($25.50) 8♠, 8♥, 4♣ (2 players)
BB bets $9, Hero calls $9.

Turn: ($43.50) K♦ (2 players)
BB bets $20, Hero calls $20.

River: ($83.50) Q♠ (2 players)
BB checks, Hero bets $45

Raise Flop doesnt make Sence, since the hands I beat would fold. So rather fold Flop (he might have 8x, 99, TT, 22-88 etc, maybe sth else), or just call Flop, re-evaluate Turn. Any Turn beeing not the Ace oder the King i would fold. Also if he would just bet 10$, as am example (ok?).
Raise Turn doesnt make Sence as well, so I do just call and hope to can go All-in on River. Villian checks, so I dont think he i very strong (not 8x, not Kx imo...). So I try to get some more Value. Should I bet more/ less?

Comments? Play completely different?

Hey again,

as you said: "Raise Flop doesnt make Sence, since the hands I beat would fold. So rather fold Flop (he might have 8x, 99, TT, 22-88 etc, maybe sth else), or just call Flop, re-evaluate Turn. Any Turn beeing not the Ace oder the King i would fold. Also if he would just bet 10$, as am example (ok?).

And because of this reasons I play the hand exactly the same way.
Another option: raise flop to make him fold and take down the pot.

As played I think pushing the river is slightly better then betting half potsize. The range of hands should be more or less the same, so in the long run pushing should gain more money.

Best regards,
TribunCaesar

Ok, you like my Flop and Turnplay. But can you explain again why pushing the River is better than just Bet? I dont bet much, because I think he often has a Hand like 22-JJ, maybe AQ, QJ, QT or sth.
