KK vs dry board facing a reraise on river

you should iso bigger. you want to be HU. go for 5x as a standard, but as you play 2 NL, you could also see, what they are willing to pay and jack it up to 30x.

3 way i would prefer a x/c OTF.

on the river you are way to optimistic. its fine to bet /fold all the way. i prefer to x/c multiway though. calling it off is a no no. the micro stakes population is very passive and for fullring this tendency is even increased.

all they want to do is to crack your overpair and they will x/c all they way paying any price you lay them and start rasing, when they have you beat.

Thanks for the tips! Yeah a bigger raising to go HU PF makes sense. I wonder why we are not c-betting OTF though? As nothing in their ranges really beat us. He's calling with pair of queens and maybe back door flush draws.

sets do. the more players, the more likely someone has a set. PPs make a large percentage of their calling range anyway.

by checking you could get away really cheap. say the BTN bets, UTG raises, we could X/F w/o regrets.

I would play the same, but only the iso raise should be around 4 or 5x with 1 limer in the pot. On NL2 are a lot of passive players, but than you need to give uo if you face a raise or shove like now. You beat only a bluff or weird played top pair hand. Shoving top pair is basicly a bluff on the river.

I have found this hand - I know this is old subject, but must say this happens very often of FR micro.

Original raisor should have isolated UTG and raise to 4x or 4,5x BB.
Flop bet is fine.
Turn bet is also fine
River bet should be more defensive "blocking bet". Here you wanna bet for value, but you still must be able to fold against sets. Personaly I would bet something around 25BB and fold after shove. At least I hope I would do that .

BTW If river comes Q♥ I am still betting river and folding to re-raise/shove same as in situation before. To get value from entities who have 6 or lower pocket pair than QQ. In micros players very often go preflop like: limp-call with pockets.
