$23 turbo, KK overshove on Axxxx board

 

I'm a long time cash hu player and just recently started playing hu sng's. I'd do this all day long in cash hu and expect to get called (by both regs and fish) by a random 5 or even 3 sometimes. But is this a total spew in a hu sng, should I just check back the river or valuebet something like 300?

First time I play this villain, he's 28% ROI over a small sample. He seems very solid. He also caught a bluff from me earlier when I fired 3 barrels on a four-flush board and he called with two pair. I basically think that he doesn't believe in me being able to valuebet 3 barrels with Qx or shoving the river with Ax. Therefore I think I could get called by worse, as this line looks very bluffy and I have a bad/tilty/bluffy image. And as I'm ahead of his calling range, and I think he calls a shove with basically the same range as he calls a smaller bet, shouldn't I always be shoving? Thoughts?

if u want to trik him

if u want to trik him because he likes catch bluffs wait atleast TPTK, I don't see the point in doing that with 2nd pair,what if he got the A?

When good plays...go bad

Yeah, this is a misapplication of a good play. Do this with a set and it would rock, but with second pair it's a pretty standard spot for a blocking bet around 1/4 pot.
