8 handed

Folds to me in the HJ, I raise. Button, sb, bb call.

Flop KcQc7h 4BB

I bet and only button calls.

Turn KcQc7h Qs 5BB

I bet and he calls.

River KcQc7h Qs Ts 7BB

I check

Should I check/fold? Read on button is he is very passive but have seen him stab river once with air. Also saw him slow play a low flush waiting for a safe river before.

Check the turn and usually call this hand, but also playing kr and kf with others. As played, if he can't bet JT when checked to, for example, it's prolly a kf.

Yeah I thought the bet on the turn would be targeting small pairs, but in hindsight these hands might just fold flop with two people behind them.

Could check/fold river.

I'd check / call river high %.
Bet river low %.
Check / fold river 1%.

Assumptions based on Button likely fish based on action.

You've backed into a hand that has way too much showdown value to check/fold. This plays much better as a bet/fold than as a check/call, especially against someone who seems pretty passive. You give yourself the opportunity to get called by AcX, JT, and random pairs that (correctly) decided to call flop and turn.

Not sure if calling a triple barrel with pocket fives here is going to be a correct play.

My parenthetical was just pointing out that villain would have happened to be correct to call against your specific hand. When you're betting into three opponents your hand should be pretty strong and I agree calling a triple barrel with 55 isn't good. That said, people show up with all kinds of junk at showdown.

4 handed without the Ac, I probably just check this flop. River is a c/f here.

+1

OT: Why do you call down river vs me & Sheseasy who are both NIT TAG fyi 100%

Yeah I suppose it is a pretty thin bet on the flop. I thought the blinds were probably pretty weak and if I got through button I could probably win. Perhaps too much of a parlay but I thought a weak gutshot and backdoor draw is ok to put into the bet category, trying to bluff off small pairs and maybe get calls from worse (flush draws).

What do you think of the bet on the turn given the flop bet?

I like it. Against multiple callers I would check, but now we 're heads up and the button just called flop, despite a pretty strong incentive to raise anything decent due to the presence of the two blinds to act behind him. Button should mostly have draws, queens, 7s, and other random pairs that decided to try to pick off your single barrel c-bets. Betting gets value from the draws and you might be able to shake the pairs. If you get raised it's normally because button turned trip queens or flopped a monster and you have an easy fold. I could see button bluff raising this turn with the logic that he could easily have a queen, but you have better hands to call a raise with.

+1

flop im indifferent to. you represent this board pf so will other players fold more than 1/8? probably. downside is you also get raised alot and you cant b/f.

im not sure what betting turn accomplishes, not for value, not as a bluff.

against a passive guy i'd c/f. given the button cold called your raise he sounds passive.
