CO: $29.17 (291.7 bb)

Preflop: Hero is SB with K A
UTG folds, MP raises to $0.30, 2 folds, Hero raises to $0.95, BB folds, MP calls $0.65

Flop: ($2) A 9 4 (2 players)
Hero bets $1.10, MP calls $1.10

Turn: ($4.20) K (2 players)
Hero checks, MP bets $2.07, Hero calls $2.07

River: ($8.34) 9 (2 players)
Hero checks, MP bets $5.50, Hero raises to $7.03 and is all-in, MP calls $1.53

Results:

Spoiler

$22.40 pot ($1.01 rake)
Final Board: A 9 4 K 9
Hero showed K A and lost (-$11.15 net)
MP showed 9 T and won $21.39 ($10.24 net)

IMO, the board is so good for bluff catching. Since he floated flop and K came out turn, I thought I had the best hand but I couldn't make him fold set or flush draw, river was safe so I decided to bluffcatching. Anything wrong? How about his river bet's sizing? Did it look like a bluff to stack off? Should I tripple barrels in this 3bet pot?

Hello,

I would just bet/bet/bet here. Don't see a reason for us to want him to fold his flush draw, and overall I prefer to not give him a chance to check back while we hold top two pair in a 3bet pot.

Best,
Plamen
