What is my hand and would you call my river shove if you were the BUTTON here with 8H,KH?

Hint: No clubs in my hand.

Seat 2: UTG ($927.00 in chips)
Seat 7: CUTOFF ($567.25 in chips)
Seat 8: BUTTON ($1,668.85 in chips)
Seat 9: HERO ($1050.00 in chips)
Seat 10: BB ($1,940.00 in chips)
ANTES/BLINDS
HERO posts blind ($5), BB posts blind ($10).

PRE-FLOP
UTG calls $10, CUTOFF folds, BUTTON calls $10, HERO bets $50, BB folds, UTG calls $45, BUTTON calls $45.

FLOP [board cards 9D,8C,10C ] pot (175)
HERO checks, UTG checks, BUTTON bets $10, HERO calls $10, UTG calls $10.

TURN [board cards 9D,8C,10C,KS ] pot (205)
HERO bets $125, UTG folds, BUTTON calls $125.

RIVER [board cards 9D,8C,10C,KS,2D ] pot (455)
HERO bets $860 and is all-in, BUTTON calls $860.

SHOWDOWN
HERO shows [ Xx,Xx ]
BUTTON shows [ 8H,KH ]

I have a couple questions:

1. How balanced is your PF range out of the blinds? I.E. are you opening hands like sc's/small pps from time to time to balance an otherwise strong range?

2. What's your image and perception of the BTN?

KK, probably air though. If you wanted to try and rep AK you should've bet pot on the river.

I wouldn't try and bluff someone who would play a hand like this.

1. I might be going after limpers with a very wide range. I hate to play sc's oop though, and in this spot I'm probably opening with any two broadway and all pairs. UTG seemed bad and I wanted to isolate.

2. BTN is unknown but I hate his play here. His flop play is simply ridiculous. I don't mind his river call, although he might just have been thinking "I don't know what villain has and I have two pair so I call".

i thought that you, being a good, tight player would not try to bluff a donk so therefore u have to have a made hand better than K8 which is consistent with ur line- all i came up with was 222 kkk

I have no place in this forum, but i'd just assume somebody that limp/called PF from the button, then bet $10 into a $175 pot when checked to was a retard.

Sauce, anyone else that ruled out JQ, can i ask why? Does a good player always lead flop, or C/R in that spot because of the club draw? Probably bets more on turn as well?

I haven't read the replies yet so not sure if you said your hand yet.

But based on turn and river it seems like QJ. I think it would probably have to be QJ suited for you to raise out of blinds. BUT flop rules out QJ I think cause I doubt you'd check and flat call on such a drawy board where so many cards can kill your action on the turn.

I can see KQ/AK firing the turn out and river, but I feel like the river overbet is almost turning your hand into a bluff with just tptk on this kinda board.

Maybe some low/mid pair tryin to rep the K on the turn and keep repping on the river. I can see 77 going crazy like this on turn/river when the draw didn't come in. 22 would be sick.. but I think thats possible as well.

99.9% of the time multiway with QJ on that board we want to cbet or c/r.
