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).
