Flop K56 I checked he bet 80 thought he had AK so I called. Turn was the 8 so I knew I had him beat and checked to trap him. He bet 110 and I didn't want to scare him away so I only minraised him and he went all in. I snapcall and he showed KK, so I wait for the river to come a blank and I showed to take the pot. After the hand I told him he played it bad and should have folded to my raise when there were two straights on the board and he told me that I played the hand well so I guess online players also know they aren't the best and live players will always get the better off it.
Wait, is this a level?
By the turn you have $35 behind ($400-65-80-220). He has top set, so even against your straight he has 10 outs to improve, so he has about 20% equity. The pot is $627 ($5+2+65+65+80+80+110+220) and he needs to call $110, so he's getting 5.7-1 on his money, which means he only needs 15% equity for a call to be profitable, so a shove is pretty standard when you only have $35 behind. (Like he's going to call top set on the turn and fold to a $35 river bet when the pot is $737.)
So I'm confused how he played it bad? Should he have NOT reraised pre with KK? Should he have not bet flop and turn with top set? Should he have folded top set to your turn minraise?
Meanwhile, is calling a 3bet OOP preflop with 97s 80bb deep then check calling a flop cbet with a gutshot standard?
This has to be a level right?
