1/2 LIVE - KJ in the BB

[d0zer]

$100max buy-in. I just sat down & posted my BB. All unknowns. Most villains in this hand had me covered.

EP villain raises to $6, 3 callers, I call on the BB with and it's a 5-way.

Pot $30
Flop:

SB checks, I check, and it's checked around.

I didn't bet the flop because I felt like in this huge multi-way that my TPGK isn't likely to be best here, and I would have to let it go if I got re-raised. In retrospect I probably should have just bet it.

Pot $30
Turn

I throw out a $25 bet. Folds around to the SB who calls me.

Pot $80
River

SB has my remaining $69 stack well covered BTW.
SB checks, I push.

Bet smaller on river, like 35 - 40. He most likely has a missed SD or a pair like QJ/K9 or stuff like that. Don´t give him an easy decision.

I like this as it probably gets more value from weaker hands.

I was hoping that my push would look bluffy and he'd look me up light, but with my turn aggression, it probably doesn't look that much like a bluff

I like $20 and $30 on the turn better than $25. $20 sets up 2 small bets. $30 sets up your river shove.

You mean on the turn?

What about my flop check?

[Fnord]

Yeah, on the turn.

The flop check is fine.

[BankItDrew]

i don't see a lot wrong with the bet size on the turn because any queen or flush draw will probably still call. This is 100max at the B&M, keep in mind. Lots of calling stations.

On the river, smaller bet. It's obviously a little different of a calling station situation where you don't need to be betting big. I would assume villain has top pair weak kicker and fire out a small bet.
