because he has checked the flop and just calls my bet it already made it hard to know what he has for sure so then for the turn card to reveal another A makes it very hard put him on an A for sure

    Opening KJ on a six max UTG is fine at all levels (table dependant) but im getting involved here 100% of the time at 4nl so pre is good.

    On the flop checking behind would have been better as you under rep your hand a little and therefore let him bluff/bet worse on the turn plus we can still extract value from worse on the turn and/or river if oppo checks. 

    I do quite like value betting your J on the turn although checking back is best as we can call a river bet or make a value bet if checked to us.

    Now when he bets pot on the river what on earth are you doing shoving? Your only options are call or fold and folding is by far the best unless you have very very solid reads.

    the reason for my shove was already the call would have taken 1.80 out so i thought well i might as well get the last 35p if i'm making the call
