I copied this hand out a while ago so I dont remember villain but lets assume he's a fish since he open limped.

Seems like I have SD value against a lot of draws, but he could peel twice with overs and my bet gets him to fold Kx along with those busted draws... I guess I kind of like my bluff.

Any thoughts?

i probably like just checking behind river, just because he won't have that many Kx in his range that he calls 2 streets and we beat quite some draws

I think that his range is polarized between draws that you beat and pairs. He could also have the Ace. I think that he would fold QJ and weaker Kx on the turn, so there are very few hands to bluffbet against, only KQ, KJ, KT and he might even fold these on the turn.

I don't think that he's folding a 3 or 22-55.

The turn bet is already close imo, but can be +EV with reads. But on the river I would definitely check back, you're basically only getting worse hands to fold.

Yes. He may have peeled again with some Kx holdings but its just too unlikely that he did that and various straightdraws like T9 79 have missed and you'll be winning anyway. :)
