1)c/r big
2) everything looks good, except add in a fold on river. tpgk is not a great hand against a lot of strength and a potential 150bb pot.

Let's say...uuhhhh...hypothetically in hand1 I bet the turn big, and UTG shoves over. Easy call at that point given the pot size mmMmmm?

Good point on the c/r though. Multi-way, someone's probably gunna bet + I'm repping enough strength to maybe push a nitter villain off a better king with the push.

Hand 2 hero tanks....tanks....can't decide so he lets himself time out. That's become my new policy. If I can't feel confident in a call before my timeout then I should probably just let myself be folded out.

Hand 1: completing shit like K5 suited gets you into these sticky situations. As played, if you are behind, you still have a very nice draw. UTG could easily have AK and be too stunned to raise it preflop.

#2 - you've bet pre, bet the flop, bet the Ace and he still hasn't gone away. He has overbet the river (IMO), but I think this is a "if I overbet he may think I'm bluffing and maybe he'll call" moments. Without a read, I fold this.

in hand 1 your best case scenario is you check, UTG bets, CO calls, you go AI. you have a full 11 outs vs sets that aren't KK.

hand 2, sometimes might want to check the turn. any timing tells or anything else could also be helpful here. are flop and turn instacalls, think then calls, think a long time then calls, etc?

I'm very attached to completing with Axs/Kxs/SCs in 4-ways+.

I'm open to a good argument as to why I shouldn't do this, keeping in mind that I'm becoming less and less scared of sticky postflop situations. I never continue with em' without a good draw, 2pr/trips etc... It's not like I'm spewing with TPNK in 4-ways (anymore).

I think the implieds are there.

yeah pretty much. you're only behind a set here and because you have 2 pair, sets are less likely. there are a dozen different hands that could be drawing as well.

Yeah that's how it went down.

I like your c/r plan for the turn though.
