$4 NLHE 6-max: Dream flop, best action vs. check raise?

I had KJ on CO. Raised to 13c, called by BB.

Flop's AQT with two diamonds. He checks, I throw out a 75% pot bet. He raises me to 60c.

So here, I have him on either AT, AQ or TT, so if a diamond, K or J hits on the turn, it might scare him to slow down.

So is the best move here to shove?

I have just around $2.80 left. No read on villain. Never played him before.

When you get raised on a flop like that and you hold the nuts just shove.

you didn't mention stack sizes but yeah, shove. think about how strong his range is there to c/r on that board.

you shoved & he folded. 'nh'

Him check raising "usually" is either a complete bluff or the nuts, or close to it. I think shoving here is the right play, or even raising BIG enough for him to be pot commited on the turn either way. He could well be raising a nut diamond draw which again is fine, either way just get the stacks in now. flatting is out of the question as he could well get away on a bad turn/river card. He's never folding two pair/sets here so get those chips in the middle.

btw it may not matter in this case but generally the suits of the cards matter a lot in hand analysis.

For example, you raise with 99 and get a caller from the blinds, flop is Ah 9d 2d, the combos of hands he could stack off with are higher than if the board is Ad 9h 2d.

The suits were KdJc and AcQs

Flop was AhQdTd.

Yeah shoving is what I should have done. I ended up making a mistake.

I ended up raising to $1.40, leaving $1.40 behind. The reason I did this was to make it enticing for him to call if he had something like AJ or AT, whereas a shove could have scared him off. (at 4NL, I've seen stranger)

Luckily for me, he 4 bet all in. I was better off just shoving and knowing I got it in ahead.

I shove. I generally dislike slow-playing straights even when we've a nutted straight.

Any K or jack may scare our villain away or diamond. Any A/Q/T or diamond may put us behind or counterfeit villains two pair.

If villain was bluffing he probably weren't following it up anyway. If villains check-raising for value he's stacking.

If the villain is unkown, how come you put him on such a tight range? On a 3 broadway 2 flush flop he could have a ton of hands, especially at 4nl. AJ, AK,KJ, flush draws, pair+fd, etc.

Why didnt you start with 100bb?

I would have cb bigger. Theres a lot of hands that will be calling you here and players will call 75% pot just as much as 90%.

I would also shove the flop to his raise. I think 4nl they will call with a lot worse on such a wet flop. Also in general, aggression on a 3 broadway flop is quite strong so chances are he wont be folding if you raise.

At 4NL, most guys aren't making a play when they check raise. Unless someone proves to be a maniac, chances are he has a strong hand there.

I play with 75BB. I am comfortable with it. I find that stacking off pre is rare and having a smaller stack offers less implied odds.

Those might be stupid reasons, but I've won everywhere with it and I am comfortable with "small ball."
