Hi everyone,

here I have K6s in the SB and I think this hand is generally strong enough to try a steal. Unfortunately I have only played my hand in this spot and didn't take a look at villains stats. I have no fold to steal stats but his VPIP shows that he likes playing a lot of hands. If I would have noticed his stats at the table I guess I wouldn't have played K6s at all. Villain indeed called and now I am playing oop against a bigger stack. Since an A is in the flop I try it with a cbet of 1/2 pot and villain calls again. The Turn brings me a flushdraw + gutshot. What now? My hand has some kind of value but with a bet I will be committed. I think I should check against this player and decide whether to call or fold depending on his betsize respectively the odds he gives me. What would you do in this spot?

If he calls a lot against your steal, i would prefer to shove. You have a good hand vs BB and you avoid this difficult decision postflop. I don't expect that he folds a lot on this board so as you played i just check flop for pot control and see what he do

I would also shove based on his passive looking stats. If you want to raise I would raise around 2,5bb from the SB to don’t get him good odds to call.

On the turn I would check and her-evaluate on further action.
If he bets below 4bb you could consider trying to hit your draw. Otherwise I would fold.

Open shove preflop is standard. Alternative for me would be to limp versus some weak passive players. Postflop bet is fine. We have ton more Ax than him and some backdoors. Turn is perfect to shove and put pressure on his weaker than Ax holdings. He could still have some 5x, 4x, 67, 68 type of stuff. Also hands like K high are possible. Plus even if he has Ax you have 12 outs which aint that bad. Maybe sometimes even some A7 could fold though that is optimistic.
