After he calls the flop, I think the K is much better for my range than his flat / call flop range. When it Barry Greensteins, I decide to shove. I’m very torn about this. On one side, I think it looks more bluffy, but realistically, how many bluffs do I have in my range by the river that don't get there. I do think this line puts max pressure on an Ace who is splitting, but again, how many aces does he get to the river with?
My issue with checking, is I think all the hands which I beat check behind, and all his value hands bet. I don’t think he can have many bluffs here either with the run out rather than a pure float.
