AP, I hate down bets, especially against aggressive splashy players who may often raise us off our SDV.
AP, I like the turn check back. Bloating the pot more with TPNK would be veddy bad.
OTR, this is a mandatory call against this player, imo. He could def read your line as weakness and be betting hands like second pair. Sure, you lose to a better K often, but you only need to be good 32% of the time. Mostly though, we should never have got here because pre is pure "I have the button and I am the table captain" spew.
Thanks!
Fair comments, i do think i need to pick my spots slightly better for 3betting and i'm looking more into it now, bet sizing is something i need to be more considerate of as it gets me into tricky pots like these. If the pot was smaller i'd be slightly more happy but as you say K8s
could be considered hot garbage in this particular spot pre.

Flop I think a range of bet sizes are reasonable, so whatever, fine. Turn checkback is mandatory.
River is a very very easy call, given villain's bet size there is no case to be made for any other action.
Definitely not a frequent action, i just hate this particular player trying to bully everyone out of pots. Understand that this isn't the right way to think though.

Personally I woulda jus folded pre insead of tangling with the most agreesive player at the table with king high ; )
Fair comments. I haven't even got close to mastering the 3betting side study-wise so i appreciate the explanation.
