6 max

HJ is 80/20/.5: will peel very lightly, not super tricky but has some trickiness in him
BB is 60/26/1.33: pretty straight forward post flop

UTG limps, HJ limps, I raise on button with KhJd, SB folds, BB calls, UTG calls, HJ calls.

Flop: 3hKd3c

BB donks, HJ calls, I Raise, BB calls, HJ calls.

Turn: 3hKd3c9s

It is checked around.

River: 3hKd3c9sTh

HJ bets, I call, BB folds

I think I'd rather just call, call, call than take a cheap showdown line. Not that I have anything against the flop raise, but the turn check does seem a bit inconsistent with that raise.

Bet turn and call him down if he raises.

If you really think he's trying to be tricky, then just call call call.

I agree. I bet the turn not only because i belive we still have the best hand the majority of the time. Also because giving a free card often counterfeit our kicker.

turn check = i hate money

with two ppl on the flop, i'm raising, if the person folded inbetween, i'd just c/c/c, but with 2 ppl, eff them, it's raise town.

Probably not a good spot to raise the flop for a free card.
