$5 NL HE Full Ring: Boat with tripped Kings
Context: I haven't been playing against this player long, so I don't have any positive reads on him. He limped from early position, and then called my raise, so I'm putting him on something like a low pocket pair, possibly trying his luck with a marginal hand like SC or Axsuited.
The flop comes Q8K two toned, giving me a set. He bets into it, which tells me that he probably has either a flush draw and is protecting, or possibly was playing Kxsuited or Krag, and is trying to take it from me as he possibly thinks I'm stealing. I smoothcall, hoping to trap him in a continued flush draw bluff, or overplaying TP.
The turn comes another K, giving me a boat. He leads out again, which now has me pretty convinced that he's on a bluff, especially since a second king makes it less likely he's got one. Again, I smoothcall hoping to get him to continue on his bluff.
Then the river comes a third K. This concerns me for several reasons. It's not completely impossibly for him to actually have had the 4th K all along, although it's highly unlikely. In addition, if he has been on a bluff with a Q in it, I am now royally screwed. But I'm not sure I can let go of a boat here. He leads out again on the turn, and I... fold, call, shove? Any and all comments are welcome, hand is below!
