Hero: 20's something, ~$500 in front, I haven't done too much out of line today, and nothing out of line that's been shown. I should have a tag image if anyone is even really paying attention.

V1: Raises from any position with cards that he thinks are decent. Mostly A9s+ AJo+, KTs+, KJo+ QJ, JT, 66+, but he doesn't really change that positionally.
Has about $200. Fairly weak post flop, sometimes cBets when he has a piece of the board, but he's about 40/60 tending towards not cBetting. If he doesn't cBet he almost never calls any bet, so he's easy to steal pots from.

V2: ~225 Fairly tight overall, but can get a bit crazy with TPTK. Likes to see flops for cheap (that's $12 or less for him). Just sat down at the table, so he's fairly clueless about how I've been playing today.

Pre flop:
2 folds
V1 raises to $11
2 folds
Hero calls with KT
V2 calls in the SB

Flop ($29) A98
V2 checks
V1 bets $7
Hero raises to $25
V2 3! to $50
V1 folds
Hero calls

V2's range here is exactly TPTK, 2p, and sets. Never worse. TPTK is discounted, but possible. (He has made the same move before, but it was a few months ago.)

Turn ($134) A983
V2 bets $42
Hero calls

River ($218) A9838
Villain checks (with ~$120 behind)

Given the range that we've assigned him, and the fact that I hold a K in my hand, what's our best move?
Always a shove?

Everything look ok up till then? Anyone like shoving over the weak turn bet?

Always a shove. The rest of the line looks good to me. V seems a little trappy so I don't think you always win.

Always a shove I agree. With only $120 behind this is still only a 1/2 PSB. I don't see you getting more value by betting $50 or something weird.

I don't think you have a lot of fold equity on the Turn, a call with the price given is probably what I might have done.
Would he jam the turn with a set of 9s, Could he have filled up on the river?

Shove for sure, although you do lose sometimes.

I like your line but definitely 3bet pre occasionally.

shove is standard here.

If you can't shove for value calling on the turn is pretty bad.

I'm not sure about that logic. We are getting 176:42, or 4.2:1 DO with some IO also. Thats more than enough to be calling the turn looking for a spade that doesn't pair the board.

I'm not advocating cHecking, but the hand is certainly different if its a 6 as opposed to 8 just food for thought.

The op stated his range after raising the the flop was TPTK+, and that TPTK had to be discounted. Putting a range of AKs, 99, 88, AA, A9-A8, 98 into pokerstove against our hand has us as a 4.6-1 dog on the turn. After the river we are a 3-2 dog and have to call it off if he jams his entire range anyways. The flop range the op gives us cuts our clean outs to 8, and sets up a big rio spot when we get the river we did.

Calling OTB is fine.

You get perfect odds to call the flop and you raise? Call/F

Thank god you didn't raise the turn when the Villain donks and gives you perfect odds once again.

Shove.
