BTN: $106.00
SB: $155.55
BB: $120.52
UTG: $100.00
MP: $115.77
Hero (CO): $123.31

Pre Flop: ($1.50) Hero is CO with K♥ K♣
2 folds, Hero raises to $2.50, 1 fold, SB calls $2, BB raises to $10, Hero calls $7.50, SB calls $7.50

Flop: ($30.00) 8♣ T♦ J♠ (3 players)
SB checks, BB bets $16.00, Hero calls $16, SB folds

Turn: ($62.00) Q♦ (2 players)
BB checks, Hero checks

River: ($62.00) 8♥ (2 players)
BB bets $32.03, Hero folds

Opponent is 22/20/10 (800 hands), 3bets 11% vs CO, resteals 16% from SB and BB. Squeeze is at 7%, fold to 4bet 7 out of 10 times. Cbets Flop 80%, 33% Turn.

I opted to slowplay cos I think his range is bluff heavy. I wonder if I should just have raised Flop and hope that I was up against AQ and AJ (which may shove). I also felt that it was a board which smashed my range so maybe raising may over rep my hand.

On the Turn, I suppose checking is like the standard play. And on the River he could very easily spring to life with some rivered boat but I'm not exactly sure if he is ever bluffing with his sizing so I just opted to fold.

Wonder if I can consider turning my hand into a bluff on the Turn and bluffing all non-pairing rivers. My Turn betting range is so strong since I can easily have so many straights
99/maybe T9s/89s and sets (TT/88).

This sizing looks like thin value/block bet from AQ or AJ to me. Turn check is also consistent with these hands. You said it yourself, this board smashes your range so villain should be betting any boat much bigger than half pot on the river, and most likely would not have slowed down on the turn as hero probably doesn't have AK in his range.

For me, if I choose to take the call pre line, I'm bet calling turn. As played, river is a call.
