Villain 33/18 56 hands

Would normally range check in this spot with this board but checking this hand feels really bad? Think i should be c betting much bigger on reflection. Only really beating a bluff on this turn but i'm used to players fast playing anything that beats me here on the flop so are we going with it?

You're right. Bigger OTF is good. His continuing range is so inelastic here. He either has a big looking hand or something that won't call any size. We want to get it in ASAP vs his overpair + straight draw, big flush draws, sets.

AP I'm not folding this in a 3-bet pot. It's too close to the nuts in a low SPR situation.

I think the smaller size is fine on the flop. It's not really a board that you'd be bombing with KK+.
Turn card is a bad event, and that check-raise is gross, but you've got to go with it.

then we bet smaller with KK, not only is it correct to use multiple bet sizings but it's clearly correct to use an exploitative strategy against ppl whom won't exploit your weak bet small range : you don't see a lot of light check raising
