Replay this hand on Upswing Poker

UTG: 1,095 (22 bb)
UTG+1: 1,784 (36 bb)
MP: 1,616 (32 bb)
MP+1: 1,908 (38 bb)
LP (Hero): 1,541 (31 bb)
CO: 1,213 (24 bb)
BU: 1,505 (30 bb)
SB: 1,419 (28 bb)
BB: 1,419 (28 bb)

Pre-Flop: (129) Hero is LP with K K
2 players fold, MP raises to 110, 1 fold, Hero 3-bets to 337, 4 players fold, MP calls 227

Flop: (803) T 4 A (2 players)
MP checks, Hero bets 195, MP calls 195

Turn: (1,193) T (2 players)
MP checks, Hero checks

River: (1,193) 9 (2 players)
MP bets 394, LP (Hero) folds

Flop: Checking is fine here, but I generally bet these kinda flops with most of my range as the A should have hit us more than MP. We are hoping to get Tx and pocket pairs to call. Would you rather c-bet JJ here (less worse hands can call but we could also need some protection) or KK?

River: Meh... We only need 20% equity here but we are basically bluff catching at this point. I really don't see that many bluffs in his range. We are also blocking KQ and KJ - which sucks. Is is correct thinking to wanting to call 88 here but not KK?

Thanks in advance!

I check behind OTF, you don´t have 3 street value from Tx and PPs anyway... 3,5$sng doesn´t matter, but strategywise checking back some bluffy A5s is also good btw...

yes I´d rather bet JJ than KK, IF I had ever wanted to bet flop with JJ, which is not the case

rvr WP, thinking that 88 is better hand to call bcs of blockers is correct, in this spot it´d still be mistake to do though... and if you 3bet 3x 88 HJvsMP, you are my hero :P

Check behind is indeed a decent option and try to bluff catch on later streets. If I would Cbet I would make it at least 300.

Cheers,

:f_biggrin: Well, point for you!

Thanks for your opinions!

Why exactly do you think I should size up my c-bet? Because this is the only street of value we will most likely get from villain? I felt like 99-55 might fold to a big bet but call flop with this sizing.
