Reads: Unknown, young, slightly fishy hispanic kid. Seems a tad loose pre flop. All just based on about an hour of observation.
My image is fine, regular TAG. I haven't been too active, haven't got caught on any bluffs (and haven't made any yet).
A straddle to $10. Folds to me with 5 players left to act. A few of them are extremely tight pre flop, the straddler is super loose pre flop. I make it $40 with K
Q
. Only SB (villain) and Straddler call.
Flop: K

. $260 effective against SB, $350 effective against straddler, so I'm committed against both players.
Checks to me, I bet $40 and only SB calls.
Turn: K

. Checks to me. Is this a good spot to check behind, not for pot control but to increase my chance of getting paid on the river and to prevent him from making a correct fold with QQ or worse?
