Thursday night table had a combination of TP/LP players, nothing difficult to handle, little or no bluffing in the hour since I sat down.
V1 (UTG+2 ~$250) – Young white male, late 20’s aggressive PF rarely open-limping, c-bets pot, likely has not bluffed during the session. He slows down post-flop. Seems competent, is friendly and talkative, having a beer and tracking NCAA tourney.
Hero (MP1 $195) – White male, mid-50’s, conservative image, drinking water / coffee, very quiet; this is the first hand I have raised. I bought-in for $200.
Hero raises AhQh to $11 after V1 limps. The blinds fold and it goes HU.
Flop ($23) is Ks-Qc-8hV1 leads for $25. I call, intending to make a play on a favorable turn, or fold if a brick hits. Thoughts?
Turn ($73) is Th; board is Ks-Qc-8h-Th
V1 leads for $25. I see the light sizing as an indication of weakness, perhaps a baby K that is suited. With the additional pot equity I have picked-up, thinking a 3x raise adds some FE into the equation. Thoughts?

just call because the T improves a lot of his range, if you're going to raise you pretty much have to shove due to stack sizes
what's with all the FPS?

Lots of fold equity on the turn. I can't see him holding much after limping in EP and donking the same bet as flop on turn. However, he could very well be holding a weak suited Kx, so it's best if we utilize the fold equity.
Raise to $75 and I don't think he'll call more than 50% of the times here, but if he does, I am shoving on river.
Obvious fold against resistance or some sort of funny tell.
