SB ($142)
BB ($180)
Hero ($100)
UTG+1 ($101)
CO ($197)
BTN ($100)

Dealt to Hero Q♦ K♠

Hero raises to $3, UTG+1 calls $3, CO calls $3, fold, fold, fold

FLOP ($10.50) K♦ J♥ 5♥

Hero checks, UTG+1 checks, CO bets $7, Hero calls $7, UTG+1 folds

TURN ($24.50) K♦ J♥ 5♥ 7♠

Hero checks, CO bets $16, Hero calls $16

RIVER ($56.50) K♦ J♥ 5♥ 7♠ 2♦

Hero checks, CO bets $42, Hero calls $42

CO wins $137

MP is 18/14 with 55% fold to cbet, quite passive.
CO is 24/20, 50% fold to cbet, 50% agg, frequency (51% F, 61% T, 24% R), 24% WTS
Bets vs missed cb 75% (in this spot 100% IMO)

Thoughts?

Yeah, it's ok to get value of his bets ip, but I think it is still better to bet than to give him the initiative because when you c/c this flop, he could decide which turn and river cards he chose to get you of your hand and which not. Your range is just already obv. You've got a K or a J with which you wanna to take a pot control line. You would never c/c draws and big hands there. If you've got a decent read on him that he barrels you of your hand indifferent of the turn and river cards then c/c is certainly good to call him down.

My 2nd thought is that if you're not that tilt resistent you should just avoid going in c/c mode and making hero calls without a good reason.

I like the line a lot.
Cbetting the flop will result in a lot of bad turnspots and given
a) MP is a passive player (won't bet unless he has a hand) and
b) I also expect CO to bet close to 100% of the time once hero and MP check

I think it's pretty much a perfect spot for c/calling because we define MPs range, lose the minimum vs him and at the same time gain the maximum vs CO.

However, once we do c/c the flop it's important to c/calldown on any card - especially on straight- and FD-completing cards because CO will try to utilize those to barrel us off our hand; but an aggressive opponent will also try to get us to fold Jx and Kx even if turn/river are blanks - our perceived range is extremely weak.
