  1. Please explain your turn/river logic here, Meister. I suspect you believe the only hand that bets the river like this is Kx, which he rarely has, but QJ and missed flush draws likely fire as well.

    77-99 would be happy to get to showdown and are probably not 2/3 potting the river, if betting at all. The question is if 10x, JJ and QQ play the hand this way?

    While it turned out to be a great call, I'm just worried whether calling this light is exploitative.

  2. Quick note: I assigned the stats to me, not CO; my mistake.

    Back to the thought process: Given how aggro this guy is, I'm assuming he's going to 3bet all pairs. I'm also assuming he has a range a mile wide. I'm obviously not too happy with his flop flat, but I am absolutely not letting him push me off a hand with lots of showdown value against his range.

    On the turn, when the 2nd K comes out, I'm fairly certain he does not have a K, which leads me to be scared of a Tx hand. I don't know that he's betting big on the river with a Tx hand on a 3 king board like this - I feel like the majority of players are checking behind with anything but 4 of a kind or AA (I could easily show up with QQ, JJ from a MP2 raise). If he really wants a call and has quads, I think he's betting more like half pot, or overpot.
