Figured this was good spot combo wise.

im checking again ott. don't mind it ap, villain's quite capped and can never have the nuts

I think I'm repping JT i should bet the turn, not 100% sure on the river if betting or X/R is best.

you don't need to rep JT ott. you have enough better hands to go for two streets of value with and protection isn't all that important here. on the river i prefer a x/r since you're beating a decent chunk of his checkbacks and he might stab or valuebet on the K

I 3-bet PF.

I'm fine with turn bet as played because villain shouldn't have that many Qx's in his value check range and we can still get value from 9x / 8x. If villain ever checks back KT, KJ, AT, AJ, AK on the flop (and it's probably not bad IMO; this is a good board for our range), then I would think getting that portion of his range to fold is a pretty big benefit.

I dunno about river. He shouldn't have many kings in his range after calling the turn (AKdd, KJdd, K9s, K8s?), but it's also a scary enough card that he's likely going to fold everything worse than TT to a river bet.

I probably lean toward c/f'ing river because I don't think villain turns his weaker hands into bluffs. And this is 2NL, so we probably don't have to turn out hand into a bluff either.

What hands are we taking this line with for value, anyway?

preflop should likely be a mix and villain dependent. turn bet is fine for the reasons you mentioned, vs a balanced reg i'm checking most of the time though as he shouldn't be cbetting this board with a high frequency and should definitely include some Qx in xb range. if you're betting most of your TT, 9X, weaker Qx type hands ott then you're really going to struggle calling down vs delay cbets.

he should have some KJ, KT, AKdd and some AJ type stabs otr, all of which will probably fold to a rr.

we can reasonably play all our sets, KQ and JT like this for the reasons mentioned above and to get max value vs his rivered 2 pairs
