Great goal.
With 22yrs how do you have 200k and how do you feel about it? Was it playing poker or in real life working? What type of work if so? Also do you play poker fulltime atm?
That's cool if you dont want to answer, it's kinda private questions but I find them interesting as I am curious about it.
And good luck at last

Yup
I had a lot of swingy days over the last 50k hands as i was playing 4-6 tables of 2k hu matches with good players a lot of the time, some of which i came out of on top, others not so. but yeah lead to alot of swings. now that i'm back to a peak high, i'm going to focus on game selecting a lot more

SB: $2,865 (143.3 bb)
Hero (BB): $2,000 (100 bb)
BTN: $2,177 (108.9 bb)
Preflop: Hero is BB with 6

BTN raises to $40, SB folds, Hero raises to $160, BTN calls $120
Flop: ($330) 6
9 Q

Hero bets $180, BTN calls $180
Turn: ($690) T (2 players)
Hero bets $370, BTN calls $370
River: ($1,430) K (2 players)
Hero bets $1,290 and is all-in, BTN calls $1,290
bet flop is standard, as is the turn. when the river comes down, i ask myself, am i folding if i check and he shoves? no, never. so i may aswel bet all in here and if he has the J or runner spades, then ok, but there are too many combinations of 2prs that would hero call me, but would just check behind on the river...so i had to shove for max value in this spot, imo! He had KQ fwiw

If we are never folding on the river, we also want villain to bluff allin(his 2pr, 1pr, air) on the river, or maybe thin value his 2pr (villain's range), as we are calling regardless. I feel that checking is a win/win here. Any thoughts?

I was thinking checking river is having the max value here? Most of the time you'll probably only get called w/ the shove on river with a straight. And occasionally a hesitant call w/ two pair. In this hand generally, we put the villain on two pair as there are many combinations of 2prs as you said. And since we are not 100% (unless we see holecards) sure of what he holds, he also has a chance of having the straight, therefore by checking we reduce variance.
