the river bet is yearning for a call. Very much looks like Kx. Did I waste 4BB here? He doesn't do thin river bets that often
Kx? I'd lean towards a fold. It doesn't make sense for him to be betting anything less than Qx or flush there with how the hand played out. If he was bluffing, he's betting more. It's not like it's a really bad call for the price though, but think long term it's going to be -EV vs. this kind of opponent.
Question for you though... I know all the trendy poker training sites say open 2.5 or less on the button. If you open 3, do you think your opponents range is changing much? At these stakes, are you opening more when you open only 2.5 vs 3bbs? I'd just open 3. These guys are still playing really bad OOP. I wouldn't listen to the trendy training sites imho. You're missing value by opening less. And I'm talking about your whole range in that spot.
