Straddle pot, H (1.3k) opens utg+1 to 35, bu (covers) call, straddler (1k) calls. Bu is a fish. Plays a very wide range, and generally will let you know when he has a hand. He's often value heavy when he's showing aggression. Straddler is taggy, but when he calls, he's usually speculative.

110: QJ5 x, 60, button calls straddler folds
230: T h x/c 160
550: 2 h checks

- I think db is def an option. I would hate to get raised off of my equity. Villain very likely raise 2p+ on the flop. The turn T connects with his range quite a bit and I didn't think my hand gets 3 streets of value on this turn. Thoughts on x/c turn vs db?

I like the line you took. Hand is confusing. How is straddler not utg and how is he checking before you bet flop?

I'm first to act pre-flop, so +1.

So you are utg+1? Because in original post it says you are opening utg. I figured you were probably +1 but i had to read it a few times

Looks fine. River block-bet is an option.

Would also consider x-raise flop. Not that calling is bad but it will set up lots of awkward spots and tough decision for Hero 3w on many run-outs.

KK is very strong on this texture and also likes to play fast sometimes so i am pretty comfortable playing a mixed strategy - leads, xc and xr all good though on a lead would use larger sizing.

For my own learning, curious to know what sizes people would be calling on river here?

x/r isn't something I want to do vs bu. He will only be betting strong hands on the flop especially 3w and taking his equity with the rest of his range. I think the better line vs him is to bet the flop and proceed.

AP, I was planning on folding to any bet over half pot on the river. Maybe I am being a bit excessively exploitative, however, my experience playing vs button leads me to believe that if he bet turn and fires a river barrel, his hand is better than mine.
