First live poker session post-corona.

1/2, 6-handed, $200 effective
The table is very loose-passive, and I've been cleaning up by cbetting ~100% of flops (mostly in position, but depends on the player) and double barreling most turns, in contrast to my normal super-nitty/passive style. This was early enough in the session that I don't think people had really picked up on this yet.

Preflop:
Two limps
I open to $15 from CO with KhJd
BU calls, limpers fold.
-It's a loose open for me but I'm fine with it from the CO.

Flop ($34): Qc6c2d
I bet $15, BU calls.
-Even with little equity-when-called, I'm pretty sure he folds easily over the required third of the time when I bet half pot here.

Turn ($64): Qc6c2dKs
I bet $25, BU calls.
-Thoughts?

River ($114): Qc6c2dKsJc (giving us two pair and completing the flush)
Action to us? There's about $140 behind. As usual, our options are (a) check/call, (b) check/fold, (c) bet/call, (d) bet/fold. (If so, sizing?)

B, imo. What is he getting money in on three streets that you beat here? You're not getting any extra value with a b/f, and if he's able to turn weak SDV into a bluff on a flush board, good for him. That's not very common, and I'd want reads before I'd worry much about it.

I’d X river, might call smaller sizing, but mostly folding.

Through the turn I would expect better hands to raise at some point. KQ/66/22, discounting QQ.

From the BTN, V should have a bunch of FD combos that we don’t block, which leads to Xing river when clubs get there.

Turn – $45 for higher value.

River - not folding even with the flush coming in. Two pair too high up my range. I’m probably leading the river and calling even a jam.

Oops. I missed that the river gave us 2p. Just went with the thread title. In that case, I probably b/f smallish.

Surely bet/call is I advocate is thin at best with KJ here. Just out of curiosity, for you, is KQ a bet call here? Or differently, what is the bottom of your bet/call range with everything else being the same?

There is absolutely 0 way I’m putting $140 in on the river into a pot of $114 against a live 1-2 player on Qc6c2d-Ks-Jc with anything less than a flush.

We bet 60 and he jams, what are you guys hoping to see? That he’s a wunderkind who manages to find the river jam bluff with AcQs?

This. Maybe a broadway straight against a few, but not many.

I like this. Perhaps 30 or 35. We may get crying call from a queen.

Any raise, we are almost certainly crushed, and it's an easy fold.

Size up on the turn.

Going for thin value on river looks good.

For the river bettors, what worse hand do you expect to get a call from? 6 combos of QJ?

Seems thin to me, considering over card turn, and the number of FD combos in his BTN calling range.
