Bigger on flop to set yourself up for shoving blank turns. $2.25 would make the pot $7.50 ott with $6.45 left behind.

You have to make him pay on the flop. Chances are he doesnt have the flush yet, but you have to make it expensive for him to chase. Agree with Blue, shove the turn. If he wants to chase against proper odds, then so be it.

So we do not need to worry about flush and the possiblility that he scared and fold.
I always think it is not easy to have kk and do not want to push him to fold.

You cant focus on the fact that you have KK and its a unlikely hand to be dealt. The more you do that, the more likely you are to lose big pots with it. You have to handle each situation differently. Would you rather take down a small pot with KK or give him odds to out draw you and lose a medium pot?

The fact of the matter is if he is chasing the flush, he will be calling any reasonable size bet. He isnt going to fold to a pot size bet and call a half pot bet. Maximize your profit on draws by making it expensive to chase.

Ye I'm trying to get it in on two str5eets with a board like this. It's not just the risk of him drawing out on us but the risk of not getting paid or even bluffed when the club does come.
That and the likes of mid/high pocketpairs with a weak club draw are actually more likely to pay us off with two big bets whilst they're draw remains live.

OOP + monotone board makes it a large flop bet followed by a shove for me.

Not very confident with this kind of play. Since all you guys said that I will be more confident with that.

pot flop - shove turn.

Recurring theme already is bet sizing for you already, so thats 1 leak we have found. Always think of what you're trying to achieve, and think of the balance between potentially making someone fold a worse hand, and getting all the money in before the board gets scarier etc, so all board and player dependent.

He could have flopped the flush, in which case we're drawing almost dead. However, what we need to assess is how many flushes are in the entire range of hands that reasonably fit his actions.

So, when he called your 3-bet, what did you think his entire range was? And when he called your flop bet, what did that do in terms of further defining his range?

Plus what kind of player was he? For example, was he the type who would call your flop bet with something like AQ with one club, with a smaller overpair with a club, or without one, etc.?
