Poker Stars, $0.50/$1 No Limit Hold'em Cash, 5 Players
Poker Tools Powered By Holdem Manager - The Ultimate Poker Software Suite.

Hero (SB): $100 (100 bb)
BB: $139.25 (139.3 bb)
MP: $120.29 (120.3 bb)
CO: $91.30 (91.3 bb)
BTN: $100 (100 bb)

Preflop: Hero is SB with K A
3 folds, Hero raises to $3, BB calls $2

Flop: ($6) 3 J 4 (2 players)
Hero bets $4, BB calls $4

Turn: ($14) Q (2 players)
Hero bets $9, BB calls $9

River: ($32) 5 (2 players)
Hero bets $23, BB folds

Opp is a decent 100nl reg, the question is about choosing good hands to bluff with in this spot. What do you think about barreling AK her, about sizing, and our ranges in general?

Imo check is better on flop, but nothing wrong in bet.

Turn card is very bad for his range, likely >80% hands in his range are weaker than top pair. So i think that it is a good spot to bet turn, overbet river exploitatevly be bluff heavy.

You can even overbet turn shove river.

I guess I would prefer to have bdfd in addition to my overcards when checking. It is because I think opps are not floating enough and when they bet and I call OTT it's hard to say where do I stand against his range.
About overbetting, it's interesting idea, I will try to dig deeper into those spots.

Having the ace blocker works both ways

1. It reduces your fe on the turn against ace highs
2. You block AJ and maybe AQ, KJ and KQ which are his strongest bluffcatchers so that would increase your fe on the R

Probably fine to 3barrel here.
