I grouped villian into the "less competent" group of players based on his stack size. I can't really understand the river bet though. Any K/x other than AK chops so unless he has 2 pair or better why does he shove? Or is it likely he has KT/KQ?

Also the reason i checked the river was because i felt like i wasn't going to get worst to call? And because of villian's stack size i felt i couldn't really b/f this river. But i'm not sure if my river play was best?

Fold pre, I don't like KJo UTG.

Flop is fine.

I'd x/c turn and x/c river (or maybe put in a blocking bet).

Not 100% sure as to what the best play is, I'm as confused as you. But I like to try for as cheap of a showdown as possible with this weak of a hand.

As played, fold river.
