SB: $8.86 (177.2 bb)
Hero (BB): $5.05 (101 bb)
UTG: $5.32 (106.4 bb)
MP: $7.69 (153.8 bb)
CO: $10.70 (214 bb)
BTN: $10.29 (205.8 bb)

Preflop: Hero is BB with K♣ K♥
UTG raises to $0.15, 2 folds, BTN calls $0.15, SB folds, Hero raises to $0.65, UTG calls $0.50, BTN folds

Vs his calling range (for c-bet) I count with 48% EQ (JJ-QQ, JT-KQs, AQs). It means I should c/c?

Flop: ($1.47) Q♥ J♠ 6♣ (2 players)
Hero checks, UTG checks

Turn: ($1.47) 8♣ (2 players)
Hero bets $0.80, UTG calls $0.80

River: ($3.07) 2♥ (2 players)
Hero bets $1.85, UTG calls $1.85

Spoiler

Results: $6.77 pot ($0.28 rake)
Final Board: Q♥ J♠ 6♣ 8♣ 2♥
Hero showed K♣ K♥ and won $6.49 ($3.19 net)
UTG mucked Q♦ A♣ and lost (-$3.30 net)

You can cbet and I would, even OOP. Board is good for your range, he has hands to call with.
The rest is ok, straight forward is the best way.

You can c-bet of course, it's by no means wrong, but I like your line more. You don't have 3 streets for value, you get more info and it adds deception.

I would cbet for sure, You don't want to give a free card for AK, it's still 8 combs. With a cb you are value betting AQs, KQs, so you have no 3 value streets indeed. In that case I would river bet 1$ - $1.5 so that hands can comfortably call. If the opp raises, we will need to check his stats for call.

I would cbet all the way, however a lower bet OTR may be better, as Alaska suggested. You will get more calls from worst hands and, if reraised, we can more cheaply assess the call.

This is a standard Cbet. You want to get value and protection against a straight draw.

I think that this is almost always a cb however I do like to check every now and then, this will also depend on the type of opponent i am facing. OTF by checking you are disguising the strength of your hand however by doing this the downside is that your giving your opponent a free card so when you do check always have a plan and what you are intending to do on the future streets....

This is one spot where I would check the flop, or cbet very small vs a reg.

Reasoning is that we block a lot of the straight draws, of which there aren't many in a UTG calling range here anyway, and most straight card gives us a set or straight draw.

Also I don't think there's 3 streets of value here.

Cbet is also find though, doesn't really matter

I would CBet, and 3/4 pot all the way, you're pre-flop aggressor, and on 3Bet pot we should go AI with OP, if villain had AA he would 4B pré flop. So you know he doesn't have it.

He could have QQ, JJ or but I think if he had it he would raise OTF to your Cbet, and if so I would still Go AI with my OP.

Villain will most of the time call with TP on 3B pots, and if so you want to charge him all the way, he Could have AK as well with 4 tens to come, AQ, KQ.

I think it would be profitable play betting all the way.
I don't think he would slowplay sets or 2P on 3B pot.

If it would be you, would you slowplay them?

Nice hand BTW

But he has just AK I think (98 is not in his range I suppose).
Should I call down his raise OTF? (I am at the top of my range I think)
