I don't like giving the free card on the flop
Maybe smaller bet here to induce a CR?
Probably best as played, but a consideration.
What's your thinking here? Fairly big stack and he's donked around (with 67s) before. Just taking advantage of position and stack size for blind steal obv. But wanted to know if other thoughts behind it.
I think you clearly missed a value bet on the river here. What range do you put him on? Taking into account his call of your raise on flop. I think he most likely has AQ or AJ in this situation. KQ is laughable.
Pot odds be damned, OOP I don't like calling here:

i'm doing a vid of bw's tourney at the mo, will probably take a week or so - if you're still interested hit me afterwards and i'll see what i can do.
I actually like this since he has a big stack and you might trap (CR flop), but I think re-raising PF as well is definitely a reasonable alternative. If you knew his image, CR this flop is reasonable too, but since this is one of your first hands at this table, I like the way you played it.

Probably didn't matter because of his draw and stack size, but this is why I hate giving that free card (similar to hand above). The pot is big; take it down!
