I have no interest in discussing strategy with a protege'. Your job is to remain quiet and listen. I have a very systematic approach that I will share with the right candidate and I promise that I will turn you into a force of nature and show you elements of the game of poker that you never knew existed.

I would check/shove this turn.
If his timer starts running, remember to laugh at him.

Hard to tell with out any HUD stats, but I think KQ is the only hand someone might limp call with that we beat here.

Any reads at all? Is he a decent player?

Just putting this out there but I don't think I've ever seen someone limp-call KQ that I remember.

I like how you played it a lot. Definitely call this river; this is a missed draw most of the time. I don't like checking the turn on this drawy board at all.

So what hand do we beat that gets to the river then? I got my aces cracked by a genius that limp called KQ the other day from UTG so it definitely happens.

Just saying I haven't seen it that I can remember, nor has it ever occured to me to do it.

Meh, maybe it's the 6 max player in me. Draws don't take the free card often enough and our flop bet really doesn't define our hand. If it's checked through, I don't mind playing a small pot here.

When he called my turn bet I thought villain's range was mostly draws, with some Qx and the occasional 88 who is a dumbass for not raising at some point in the hand. The vast majority of this range that I beat on the river isn't calling anything (KQ or QT are all I beat that might call) and I'm getting it in if I'm beat either way. So a river check/call seemed obvious.

As for the turn check/raise all-in, I don't like it in this particular spot. Part of the reason is that I don't want to give any draw a free card here because of the massively draw-heavy board, but moreover draws are the overwhelming majority of hands I'm ahead of on the turn (along with KQ and other Qx if this guy's an idiot), and it seems [at least to me] that a bet extracts the most value from this range.
