Villian is a winning Reg but we had no history etc. So i think he understands a UTG range.

He Folds no PP on this Flop so i cbet with the intention to bet the most turns.

On the turn he will call some of his PP and Fold some, i guess (i think he can handread a bit).But he will not raise with PP or a spiked KQ, wich means i have to bet the river almost always if i bet the Turn.

River is not the best card but i think he will Fold enough to make a bet profitable. I think of QJs,JTs or offsuit J´s.

suggestions?

This is played well, though, I might just give up on the river. I think that you can get some Jx to fold, though. I might bet a tad larger.

If he understands an utg range, he propably doesn't always call with QJ-type hands, and you have blockers vs. QJ/AJ anyway. So I would say that flushes are more likely, than flopped top pairs.
I think this river is the worst one to barrel. I would propably check.

Bet bigger on the turn, to give worse pot odds to draws. And to win more money when you barrel a blank river, and he folds his Jx/missed draw. Or you hit some of your outs.

I would just give up on the river. If vilain understand position, he is not calling light imo...And the river is not a good card to barel because I think that FDs are a big part of his calling range.

So cbetting the flop, betting a little larger on the turn, and check/folding the river would be my play here.

mhh.. true .. thx for ur answers

I'd bet at least 8 on the turn and then at least 20 on the river into about 26.25 if I did bet the river, but I'd check the river because I think he's folding a lot of his pps on the turn and most of his range he gets to on the river is a flush draw. If he happened to call flop with KQ AK I wouldn't be expecting him to fold on the river if I bet. He might even call again with QQ. I guess I'm trying to say I don't see what he folds here just from my experience with barreling in these spots.

<edit> nm I like your turn bet since you're just trying to get pps to fold, and if villain does happen to have broadway cards in his hand he's floating you with or that hit the flop he's not folding. His range seems pretty inelastic here so betting 10 on the river with your value hands is probably best and I like the 6.50 bet with bluffs.

I would have bet 7 on the turn and then check/fold river.
