Shoves. AJ, Spazzy Js, TT, QQ, 99, AK. Majority of those are calling. More calling combos that we beat than just KQ or KT.

Shove. If you lose to a bigger boat, then move on. Absolutely shove imo

With villain out of position...I think optimal play here is a shove. Believe you would've been check raised on the turn if villain had KQ or K10...or at least bet out on the river. To me looks like he had QJ or KJ...possibly QQ or 1010. With more knowledge of players (or at least knowing that you're up against thinking players), possibly could be different but need to be getting full value for your hands at 1/2 and straight forward play at these stakes works best.

I just flatted the river, he made a little speech before putting the bet in that just seemed like strength.
I just felt that any other K just calls my bet, any boat raises, couldn't put QQ in his range as I feel he would have 3 bet pre.
He had K 10 so was a little bit of a cooler.
Thanks for input, I feel like shoving in that spot over the long run would be more profitable.

Your sizing sucks. With the stack sizes u should have already been set up for a river shove

Is this a typo? I'm getting quite a bit more...just curious. And I like just calling. Ppl don't c/r straights on river on these textures in live 1/2...he's pretty much always showing up with a boat here and we don't beat many of em, assuming they almost always 3b QQ pre and will 3b TT a good amount too.

If you DID bet 45 otr tho and pot rly was like $150 (that's what I got anyway), i think it changes things a little.

I know the sizing was a little small but I was just going for some value. I didn't think he would be calling much more with two pair hands. Turn bet should have been bigger though.

And when he c/r river it just seemed odd. I only beat AK and KJ and 10,10. QQ I took out of his range. I don't see him c/r a straight. That was my reasoning for just calling.
