Unknown villain. I valuebet river targetting worse Kx and Qx. If villain is recreational, thenthey may call with all sort of random hands as well. Is it too thin?

PokerStars - $0.02 NL (6 max) - Holdem - 5 players
Hand converted by PokerTracker 4

Hero (BB): 100 BB
UTG: 100 BB
CO: 102 BB
BTN: 126 BB
SB: 91.5 BB

SB posts SB 0.5 BB, Hero posts BB 1 BB

Pre Flop: (pot: 1.5 BB) Hero has J♣ K♠

fold, fold, BTN raises to 2.5 BB, SB calls 2 BB, Hero calls 1.5 BB

Flop: (7.5 BB, 3 players) 8♦ K♦ Q♥
SB checks, Hero checks, BTN checks

Turn: (7.5 BB, 3 players) 4♥
SB bets 7 BB, Hero calls 7 BB, BTN calls 7 BB

River: (28.5 BB, 3 players) 7♦
SB checks, Hero bets 7 BB, fold, SB calls 7 BB

Spoiler

Hero shows J♣ K♠ (One Pair, Kings)
(Pre 26%, Flop 4%, Turn 0%)
SB shows Q♦ K♣ (Two Pair, Kings and Queens)
(Pre 74%, Flop 96%, Turn 100%)
SB wins 41 BB

3betting to like 10bb seems like a decent option as bluff. Than it depends how much action you get if I would barrel for multiple streets. Especially multi way it will be tough to get much value in a 3bet pot.

As played the river is a tricky card in a multi way pot without a :diamond: blocker in you're hand. If you bet you want to get value of a hand like KT. That's 1 of the few hands you get action from that you beat. I think it's a little bit to thin multi way. Against 1 player it's easier to bet for value I think.

The showdown was surprising indeed. I guess affraid for a flush, but top 2 pair would be a easy value bet I think and a fold if someone would make a decent raise.

Cheers.
