The tourney is a 16.50 big fish on 888.
It's the latter stage of the tournament with 27 players left
Hero has 50bb's dealt K6o OTB.
Folds round, hero opens 2.4x
SB folds, BB calls.
Villian is LAG with 51bb stack.
Flop is 2 K 10 rainbow.
Villain checks, hero bets 35% pot.
Villain raises to 2.2x. Hero calls.
Turn is J.
Villain bets 50% pot. Hero calls.
River is Q. No flushes on the board
Villain checks. Hero shoves.
I expected this player to defend so I wasn't surprised with the checkraise. I though about shoving back at him but felt like we were too deep to get it all in with a such a mediocre hand.
I'm thinking my only mistake here is not checking the river. But then I think the shove gets him off a lot of 2 pairs so I'm not sure.
What do we think?

What 2pr do you expect him to have? KT or QJ? He prob c/c JT and you chop vs every Kx hand so prob just take the showdown.
Fold the turn tho.

With TPWK on a dry flop you should be checking the flop. The rest of the hand then becomes easier and cheaper to play.
And no way I would ever bet that river. Do you think any worse hand calls and any better hand folds?

Take the showdown - I agree but I do think he folds some better hands.
Check the flop - I agree it is probably the better play for keeping the pot small
Fold the turn - I don't think I can fold the turn when I call the checkraise on the flop. Apart from the bad runout I think it was a good bluffcatching spot

his most likely c/r is qj or 22 and theres no reason why hes losing by river with his value combos.
start w fold pre
