3bet preflop for value, since I've found people at this level are highly likely to call 3bets with worse (Seen as bad as K5o, but usually I see calls from KJ, QJ, QT, and hands that I dominate preflop).

Villain is unknown. First hand I've ever played with him, but as I said I expect calls from a lot of worse hands. I also expect him to think my check looks weak, and bluff with a wide range. People at the micros tend to bluff way too frequently when people check, a good example is seen below:




So, is it bad of me to be playing this hand the way I did? Can we expect a lot of villains to be bluffing here due to my weak line of X/C'ing flop and turn?





When the flop came down KJx I didn't think c-betting accomplished much. I fold out any lower pocket pairs, and only get called by better or hands with plenty of equity. If I was to bet the flop and got called, my turn play would be pretty unknown. I can't bet again because any weaker Jx would just be folding, and if I check with intent to either get the hand checked to showdown or fold when villain bets then I'm just wasting money on the flop by allowing villain to bet the turn when worse hands.

So, is turning my hand into a bluff catcher from the flop onwards a bad idea? Again, no specific reads against villain but my reads against the majority of players at 5nl are that they bluff way too often when shown passiveness, and they're more likely to be betting close to pot when stronger (while this player chose a very small sizing).

What would you have changed?

H1 is OK, the other option is to b/c flop.

H2 I think I prefer flatting this pre but 3bet isn't terrible. x/c is also fine postflop imo
