BB: $50 (100 bb)
MP: $39.35 (78.7 bb)
CO: $61.35 (122.7 bb)
Hero (BTN): $61.45 (122.9 bb)
SB: $19.20 (38.4 bb)
Pre-Flop: Hero is BTN with Kh Ad
2 folds, Hero raises to $2, SB folds, BB calls $1.50
Flop: ($4.25) 2d Ah 7d (2 players)
BB checks, Hero bets $3.40, BB calls $3.40
Turn: ($11.05) Jd (2 players)
BB checks, Hero checks
River: ($11.05) Qh (2 players)
BB checks, Hero bets $7, BB raises to $44.60 and is all-in, Hero ???
Alright, so I think I played this hand pretty well (I could be wrong though lol). I don't have much a read on the villain, he showed up a few hands ago. Flop is pretty standard. For the turn, my reasoning behind the check, is that I have the Ad so I'm not worried about a 4th diamond coming off and feel I can maybe induce villain to bluff river as it looks like I've given up on the hand. And on the river, with villain checking (I figure hes looking for a cheap showdown), I decided to go for value. I went a bit bigger because I figured if he's calling like $4 he's calling $7.
My question is whether my reasoning for the turn check is okay or not? And also whether I should be checking behind on river?
As far as the "as played" aspect goes, I think its a no brainer but would still like to hear what you think. Thanks.
