    Some history with the villain. He doesn't fold to 3bets, so although I would sometimes be able to go for some thin value pre, I don't like the idea of playing KQo OOP in a big pot vs a guy I have some history with. So just flat.

    I am mostly interested in the river play here. I folowed a rather frowned upon line here. My reasoning was: I have a good had, I don't want him to bet big and leave me guessing, so I went for a blocking bet (BF).

    That's a pretty big blocker bet. Any hand that calls you probably has you beat. Check/calling pretty much has the same effect, and it allows you to catch some of his bluffs.

    If you aren't comfortable 3betting pre and playing OOP then you need to do it more often
