Replay this hand on Upswing Poker

SB (Hero): 525 (13 bb)
BB: 975 (24 bb)

Pre-Flop: (60) Hero is SB with 7♦ 9♦
Hero calls 20, BB checks

Flop: (80) 2♣ K♣ A♦ (2 players)
BB bets 40, Hero calls 40

Turn: (160) 8♦ (2 players)
BB checks, Hero bets 80, BB calls 80

River: (320) 2♠ (2 players)
BB bets 80

It looks like a blocking bet ( King maybe). What about a push?

Yea I would just fold flop too. I feel that when average player donks this particular board, we don't realize equity well later streets (face some turn bet super often) and have very little bluff equity.

I'm not bluff raising river. Even if he is somehow blockbetting something like KX, guys hero hard af vs raise in this spot imo.

I can spew like crazy w this particular hand in this exact spot fwiw

Can't even imagine how many times I raise flop and barrel or ship river or something and villain snaps off K3 or something insane like A8.

raise flop with this hand , fish usually bet weak hands and tend to donk/fold a lot on such boards , if you have info that he isnt such a guy then fold the flop

It depends what else you'd play like this, if you'd play value like this a lot then it's fine to push river. I don't know what is the flop call is about but as you improved on the turn you can check back to even out the flop spew and for pot control or if you think you can take down the pot there then bet bigger than half psb. With river shove you can either feed your value range or counterfeit villain if he seems bluffy as they'd only fold out a small percentage of made hands if any
