Vs unknown player, on the river I think I should discipline fold, too often I see value bets for half pot on the river, people very, very seldom bluffs with this sizing so I prefer fold. Maybe should re-raise on the flop?

Seems fine against unknown V. Raising his min-raise OTF might be tempting but i will restrict myself. Sometimes this is strenght, sometimes thin value. You cant be sure. So calldown till the end seems the best option to me.

Generally you want to keep variance low against unknown players

Seems alright. The river is offcourse a really bad card for KK. Any 8x beats you now that could min raise the flop.
I don't think you beat any value hand except a over played over pair.

vs flop raise this is a classical way ahead way behind spot, just call, there's not benefit in 3betting - we will just isolate ourselfs vs trips.

river is underbluffed, just fold.

Really weird hand aye. I think that turn and river are pretty bad cards for us. Flop raise looks to either be hh, 67, some paranoid 5x or garbage but then the turn completes the value hands in his range that weren't already there. We might just need to fold turn although it seems weak.
