So here we've got your typical bad opponent. I have no idea how stationy he is, this is the first hand I've played against him. He calls a low fairly wet flop. I like pros & cons lists, so here's one:

Pros for betting:
1) Villain sucks and likely calls too much.
2) Board is somewhat wet, and many hands like A5, A2 have a decent draw.
3) Betting turn gets us value before scare cards (5's, 6's, A's) hit on the river.

Cons for betting:
1) The K is a great 2-barreling card, and we don't want fold equity.
2) Checking back allows him to bluff/value cut all his hands against us on the river. This may include overcards like QJ/AJ/ect.

B/F this turn card for sure.

If called, check back all non-T rivers. Soul read in the unlikely event he calls and bets river.

I would bet again because I doubt he actually bluffs with overs in he misses on the river. I do think he calls with all those small SCs he has for draws/pair+draw. It does kind of suck that the turn was a King because it maybe scary for him but since I don't think you'll get much value from his air later you might as well get it from his draws now.

This is the main reason to bet, imo. He has a lot of 9-out hands so we need to bet for value/protection.
