    Another hand where I perceive villain's range as capped when he's checking back a wet flop, maybe I'm overbluffing in these spots but I think on these stakes people should be unbalanced there.

    Purpose of my turn bet here is a mix of getting value/protection/bluffing as I have many 5x and FHs in my range where I think he should bet like every 5x and a fair amount of FHs, only better hands that people will check here on these stakes are JJ and AAxx:dd but I block a fair amount of diamonds. Not sure if x/calling would be better or not though, on this structure I probably don't need very much protection.

    On the river I think he has a ton of Axxx:dd hands which now beat me but I can still rep a very strong hand so decided to turn my kings into a bluff.

    Thoughts?

    What are you repping on the river? What do you think villain folds?

    I'd assume J hands and str8 draws on turn, but those aren't being bluffed.

    Can't see villain folding A6.

    You have all sorts of 86/64/dd you can bluff on this river. No need to do so with KK here. Generally speaking you only want to bluff with showdown value when you have a hard time finding air hands in your range.

    I was trying to rep 5x and FHs hoping that he will fold random ace (most often Axxx:dd) but Adebisi could be right, if I'm bluffing kings here I'm probably greatly overbluffing this spot

    The problem is that nothing implies you have a 5, your turn bet is at least J***+ and the river is a weird spot where if villain gets to the river and has an A it's so high in his range (that doesn't have a 5).
