Hi,

Villain seems to be tight, so when they open and call my 3-bet, I thought their range was fairly tight. This flop looked innocuous, but I thought they had a lot of Kings. For this reason I skipped the c-bet. When they checked on the turn, thought I could bet small to target smaller pairs. Their check/raise on such a dry board didn't make much sense to me, honestly had no idea what to do there. They're obviously representing a King, but would they really check a King twice? TT is another hand which makes sense I guess.... but can I really fold to a single aggressive action by the villain? And if I decide to call on the turn, can I really fold to their shove on a blank river? On the other hand, can I find a hero call? I couldn't think of many hands I could beat which would check/raise the turn other than pure bluffs. Really unsure about the best way to play this.....

Thanks!

Its a way behind way ahead spot. flop check is nice for pot control. I would check turn too an call or value bet river.

Our villain looks like a fish based on his stats and I don't think it'ss bad to make half pot bets for thin value on flop and turn. As played I would fold river as well and I don't think I would check the turn when you have most of the time the best hand.

Cheers,

Than I would fold against him if he would raise or shove. I don't think he will ever bluff.
