$5 NLHE 6-max: KK in BB, 3Bet preflop, flop top set->check/call, raise turn? and shove river?
Villian Stats (VPIP/PFR/AF): 100/57/100
Hey I have been playing microstakes on and off for a year (total of like 15k hands). I'm currently a winning player by a whopping $1.60. I've been studying up lately and am wondering if I played this hand correctly. I included the hand history here and I'll provide my overall thought process. By the way this was on ignition if that helps (decent amount of fish there).
I get pocket KKs in the BB. The BTN raises. I only have 7 hands on him but he's 100/57 and he's been extremely aggressive postflop up to this point. I 3Bet, he calls, I hit top set on the flop and I now have 2 questions. The flop was 5 6 K rainbow and my thought process is that there doesn't seem to be a ton that he can call me with here given that he called my 3bet preflop. I feel like that takes AA out of his range, maybe he has QQ, JJ, AQs, AJs, things like that. Or maybe he has random stuff, but I feel like he'll have something with substance since he called a 3bet preflop. So I figure I'm way ahead, let's check and induce a bet from a worse hand, which I expect he will do since he has been so aggressive. He bets, and here's 1 of my questions, do I raise here? Or just call? I feel like a lot of those bluffs he might bet with here might get scared off right now from a raise because of the K and it nails my range. My plan is to check/call the flop and then hopefully the turn gives him a tad more equity, like an Ace would be great, and then I can raise check raise the turn since he's so aggro I expect him to do so on the turn. This is exactly what happens, the turn comes the Ace of clubs, putting a flushdraw out there, and presumably hitting his range. I check, he bets, and I raise. He time banks for quite a while and then calls. Everything worked like a charm so far I feel. (I wasn't too worried about the 56 and filling a possible straight draw btw since I feel like he wouldn't have called my 3bet preflop with cards that make those straights possible. Is this correct?)
Finally the river comes the 7 of clubs, making a flush now possible. Now it also fills a straight draw too but like I said I'm not too worried about my opponent having something like 89 or 43 because of the preflop action. Additionally, I feel based on the action so far, I would put my opponent on Ace-X here, AKs, AQs AJs I would guess. Someone who couldn't get away from top pair on the turn. Since those hands I just listed that someone would call with preflop are suited, the Ace of clubs makes me worry less about the flush possibility. Still worrying about the flush coming in, I sort of panic/tilt shoved on the river for the rest of my stack, is this correct? After thinking about it, would you consider this a Way Ahead/Way Behind situation? Like now that I think about it, if he has Ace-X he'd probably fold to a 3rd street shove since the flush got there as well, and if he had a flush he'd just snap me off right? Should this be a definite check/call situation? Let me know
Summary of Questions: Was check/calling the flop and check/raising the turn a good plan from the start? Did I put my opponent on a good range of hands? Was discounting the possible straight draw a good idea? And would check/calling the river be better than shoving?
