Turn K, both of us check.
River 8.

I Bet 40 dollars he goes allin 130 dollars.
Have to call…
And he’s holding k8.

Disgusting
1. Check or bet 1/2 the pot ont he flop, i know u want callers but a weird bet looks exactly that, weird. id bet $25 if i dont check, i.e if the opp is a LAGtard.


2. Bet the king, if he called the flop he has Ax or an 8, so he will call the turn bet.

3. why the frig did u bet the river? Now a hand beats you, and its looking ikely he may have it, you check/call the river. Yes if he pushes u have to call IMO, but still, betting on a scare card aint the way forward.
