KQs float

Hey GingerKid,

Preflop call is fine.

Flop x/c is fine.

After turn goes x/x I think it's fine to lead river here as a bluff. Sure we'll get snapped by an Ax some of the time but bluff should work often enough to be profitable.

Could even just consider checking river with nut-no-pair - The downside is that we open ourself up to potentially being bluffed and we also miss out the opportunity to fold out any weak pairs in opponents range or even a chop.

Do you think that overbet can have better EV than normal size bet vs unknown? I think that unknown people tend to fold Ax vs overbet, and if they call I start only value betting.

Potentially - but very difficult question to answer about an unknown. Usually I bet river with a regular sizing but not really be trying to fold out Ax hands.

Assuming overbet can fold out Ax it might be slightly higher EV but if opponent starts calling with Ax vs overbets anyway then we are just getting a really bad price on our bluff and folding out a similar range.
