KQo on the BTN vs EP open - Low F, T & R

this play might not be suited for these opponents/limit, but utg's river bet usually should be some sort of a block bet with a weakish hand, so bluffraising could potentially be a good idea.

So I shouldn't have checked behind on the Turn?

Is the play still valid with the SB still to act? I know he hasn't shown any agression, but just asking.

yes i'd check the turn (give up), but on it's own it can't be a big mistake to bet as a bluff. you have to bluff with something

SB doesn't have a monster either, and he would face 2 bets on the river with the river donk-bettor still to act behind him.. He'll fold a lot

The turn is the tricky spot, I guess both bluffing or a check are ok but in general I think a check might be slightly better (depends on opponents)

I have a "rule of thumb" that says "don't bluff turn with K high" to maintain sane bluffing frequencies. Against two I'd very rarely bluff on turn with K high. With that in mind, with this board, I might not even c-bet flop. I'd expect very few folds, and UTG is not very likely to have something (like KT) we beat or something he'd fold (like suited A + rag). So for me, the flop bet serves no real purpose. Two-handed would be different, but our preflop 3-bet "failed" to get us HU here.

what do you think of the 3bet preflop?

It's one of the weaker hands you can 3bet, but it's ok
