Sky Poker Forums is upgrading its look! Stay tuned for the big reveal!
K2s isn't a standard 3b from the blinds, but was a hand I'd picked to defend with yesterday and the button was the sort of oppo where this would often either take the blinds pre (and make him think twice about stealing every orbit) or call to play fit or fold.
Disappointly the BB came along for the ride on this occasion.
If I'm putting BB on a far stronger range (inc AK/AQ/AJ) should I even be bothering to cbet or should I revert to plan B and get out the hand if I can't cheaply see turn and river?
Obv in this case I did cbet, but now I know that BB is the sort of player who will fire most turns if I check and give the impression I've given up... yet I'm thinking that a big part of his range includes an ace....
So
is turn a c/f or a b/f (or even b/c or b/r?)?

Options are B/C or C/F (Assuming villain doesn't bet really small)
If you bet and villain jams your going to have the correct price vs his range to call so b/f isn't really an option.
You would be best placed to decide what % of villain's range is Ax hands. There's no point in betting to get A10+ to fold it's just never gonna happen often enough to make betting /jamming the turn profitable.
Against better regs at higher limits this is a mandatory turn jam but here make an exploitative c/f is best imo.
I've probably been applying an even tighter range than you suggest for BB - but that may be erroneous on my part (due to applying my own nitty range). I'm not sure very low PP will be set-mining 10% of their stack, esp oop to the original raiser (who is still to act). Not sure the lowest of suited connectors will be in the hand for the same reason?
As that puts him further ahead of me equity wise, does that increase the logic of c/r flop and c/f to anything but a really small turn bet?
If the flop gets checked through, should I then (delay) c-bet the turn?
Sorry for all the questions... guess this is the downside of a limited ability fish like myself trying to add 'C' to his 'AB' poker game!
This flop is basically the equivalent of A62r for 66 when you know villain doesnt have AA. Get it in as quickly as possible and try to see both window cards to come with K2s on a ArXs[3-5]s flop. The flop shouldn't get checked through, button will stab based on what you've said. But if it does, same reponse as when you bet flop -- we probably dont get stacks in.
