QJs on the button, short handed (1 Viewer)

*** the end ****

Hero check behind. Villain tables and says playing the king as a kicker. Hero mucks.

I posted this in large part because hero didn't see the implication of the turn nine until after he bet. I was curious to see how fast the forum would pick up on it.

I have doubts about getting villain to fold vs a shove here. Maybe he does fold, but he was sold on the hand as a chop, so maybe he calls.

I think on the flop there are plenty of times villains fold to your position bet so I liked the raise there. After the call on the flop I think it becomes harder to make long term profit betting into repeated calls unless you have a very specific villain and good Intel on them.

I agree. Hero gets full marks for the flop c-bet. The turn bet is a mistake in my opinion because the paired board makes the kickers irrelevant.

What is villain's range after calling the flop bet? All of his Ax and Kx combos that he sees the flop with (more Ax than Kx presumably, though given Hero's nitty reputation he probably leads out with at least some of his Ax hands???) Given his success on the night, probably any QJ/QT/JT that he's going to bluff us off with on the river if we check behind. Some 9x combos. Maybe a hand like TT that he decides to test our resolve with. If he's folding all of those but the aces to our turn bet (and he should be,) then I think it's still a profitable bet.

Late to the party, but saw immediately that the paired turn is bad for us to carry on barreling...
