    Am I doing the right thing moving all in on the river? I thought he maybe would put me on a missed flushdraw and call with his king whitch i put him on.

    Allways when I raised preflop and is heads up against another player and he checks before me i bet the potsize on flop. Mostly when we are three players too. This time I didn't think he was too strong and he would let a weak king or an middlepair go with a hard bet on turn.

    I dont think he would check with an set or two pairs on the river and I think he wouldnt play a hand like K8, K3 or K7 either that way when its a flushdraw out there. So I thought he had like KJ, KQ, KT or maybe put me on a bluff with QQ/JJ/TT or 99. As he was calling me down to river...

    With those hand I thougt he would call me on the river as he had called me down the whole way with a hand like that as he easily could put me on a bluff or missed flushdraw.


    What do you think about my play and speculation about the hand?

    Welcome. Hand and reasoning look good. I don't think you're getting a river call out of this guy in any case, but you have to decide if he's more likely to call to an all-in because it looks like a bluff or a little bet because it's cheap. Personally I probably make a small bet here, maybe $10, but it's read-dependent.

    check flop or bet less - you are OOP vs. 2 opponents. not the best situation to build a pot with nothing. turn is read-dependant. i think there are more +EV lines for the river here.
