Was just moved to main game about 15 min or so before this hand. I'm on button with Kd10d. Folds to hijack who is in his 20s and is playing pretty loose. He's open raised a few pots and called more. We both have around 1300 to start. He opens to 40, and I call on button partly because bb is Asian older guy who has played every pot and is for sure a spot at table. Unfortunately first hand he folds.

Flop JdQc7s villain leads for 30. I raise to 150 and he calls pretty quickly.

Turn 8c. He checks I bet 230. He calls pretty quickly again.

River 6h. He checks. . I had a hard time putting him on a range here making my decision whether to bluff river or give up difficult. Plus not having seen him showdown any hands I wasn't sure if he was capable of folding an ace queen type hand.

I don't play this high so take this for what it's worth, but I like a river shove. Based on the way the villain played the hand the bulk of his range seems to be made up of AA/KK/AQ/KQ, hands that will have a difficult time calling. Another thing to factor in is if villain can hand read your range is going to be value heavy. There are not many draws out on this flop, and one of them got there (T9). So really the only busted draw that might be in your river 3 barreling range is KT.

As far as live tells go, I think two quick calls are indicative of a hand that will not be quick calling the river, i.e. will have a decision to make. It's usually indicative of a draw or a marginal made hand. If he was strong, he would have likely contemplated whether to reraise.

That said, it's live poker, so there is no guarantee that he is folding if he has a marginal hand. But I think I'd bet $515 on the river.

I also think you could have considered just flatting the small flop c-bet. It is likely he will define his hand on the turn and you can elect to either raise the turn as a semibluff (especially on the 8), call again, or fold (if his bet size is so large that you don't think you can profitably call). Not saying that your flop raise was wrong, but it's important to consider the pros/cons of each possible line. In general, setting up three barrels is often a bad idea live, though certainly not always and you can make a reasonable defense for your line in this game, especially depending on reads. But keep in mind that raising flop then barreling is a good way to play strong flopped hands, precisely because live players just don't like to believe that line. Raising turn probably has more fold equity against a certain type of live player (a category which this guy in his 20s may or may not fallen into).

Couple of additional thoughts. First off I'm in my 50's, and play fairly tight. This usually buys me some extra fold equity that I try to use a couple times a session. Also in my tightness one of the things I've been working on in my live game is opening up a bit. I can often play a 5 hour session and never raise a single flop or have made a 3 bet. I thought my line perfectly repped 9 10, but so many live guys even at 5/10 won,t fold AA or even AQ here.
