Should I be betting these like you did? wtf did he have?
He had kings. Betting out builds the pot when he may check behind on the flop, and it also confuses my opponent. When I start showing a strength on the latter streets, he'll be more prone to call me as he'll be confused by my bet on the flop. If I check-call the flop, then start raising and reraising on the turn and river, or check-raise the flop (which are really the only alternatives to leading the flop), I might as well just turn my hand up on the table.
