I think the fact that my opponent was 38/33/5.38 and the pot being blind vs blind means this is an easier decision and I'm just way overthinking the hand though I would like some opinions on the hand anyway.

The K on the turn worried me a bit but I dunno if it needed to or not. Any King he's committed to this flop.

I'd expect big draws to have gotten it in on the flop but hey who know's my opponent is very aggressive.

Basically, am I overthinking this hand?

Noo, I dont think so, you played the hand good in my opinion..


Don't be scared every time the board pairs, maybe your oponnent doesnt like it too, besides the chance he made a better hand is not that big.

Tricky spot.
I think as your opponent is an aggressive fishcake I'd have done the same here.
If your opponent had been semi decent we could fold here, as he isn't were just gunna have to ship it off to him when a fullhouse stacks us.

A 38/35 is gunna bet KT AK perhaps even K9 exactly like this.
A more capable opponent would not be betting hands you beat out here.

Cooler.
