KTs 25NL

This is a spot I find myself losing money at.

The only value he has in his range is 77, but does he always have it when he takes this line? Although he could have some bluffs on this board, it is very rare to see someone take this line with a bluff.

Should I be folding this river?

Pre flop this hand is a 3bet or fold, calling here OOP with KTs is not going to be profitable.

Against any kind of straight up reg, they are folding all their non-made hands on the river, don't expect any type of bluffing range as you can have sets and two pairs in your range which they would be crazy to bluff. River is a fold to me every time either 77 or badly played monster, it's exploitive but I think it's irreverent as nobody will exploitive me here.

Pre: I use these types of suited broadway hands pretty regularly as a three bet bluff so this would be my preference here, I don't hate the call though.

Flop: I don't mind check calling or check raising here, both are viable options. Check raising seems better as we can fold out a decent number of A high/small pocket pair hands that can play this way, as well as Kx that has us dominated.

Turn: This is a great card for villain to barrel on so I like checking here with the intention of check calling.

River: When villain checks back turn he is going to have some weak-middling strength showdown value very often. I think it is unlikely he fires his bluffs again so I like donking out here to get value from his hands like Jx. When we get raised I think it is just a fold, he is repping a very narrow range here but it is pretty difficult for villain to be bluffing here.

This is a fold for me pre. Not keen on using it as a 3 bet bluff against MP due to the trouble we face when hitting a king.

I don't hate a check raise with the added queen outs for a straight draw, but calling is fine.

On the river I like bet folding for value against his AJ type stuff. He is repping almost nothing but he can have a badly played KK as well as 77. You're not likely to be getting exploited here.
