The villain was very aggressive, so I let him bet first. I put him on an ace, so I bet when the ace came on the turn. He might complete on river, so I check/call.

Hi there Wizo,

pre flop I think we should consider squeezing this hand. KJo is a hand that plays quite badly in a multi way pot and it's an okay hand to squeeze. Since MP1 is so loose our squeeze gets even better. Anyways, call is okay given the odds we have, we just have to be really careful post flop with top pair type hands in a multi way pot.

Flop without further info on villains I think we are better off leading this flop, I think we will see too many check through in this flop and that's something we definitely don't want to see. MP1 will not bet complete air often, even if he's aggro.

As played, given MP1 is so loose I think we have a good enough hand to x/r, a player like that will certaintly have worse Jx, FDs and overpairs that he will not fold.

As played I would x/r turn, now it's even more unlikely villain has AJ and there two FDs on the board, neither of which villain will fold to a raise (and they will bet when checked to)

River we have a problem since although we have trips it's only a bluffcatcher since villain will not bet for value a worse hand (he probably even checks back QJ). But he is giving us good odds and we do block some oh his value bets (since we have de Kd) so the call river should be fine.
