    Default Called Pre IP - Tell Me How To Play My Range

    PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $0.50 BB (9 handed) - Poker-Stars Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com

    UTG+1 ($54.10)
    MP1 ($50.60)
    MP2 ($31)
    MP3 ($50)
    CO ($40.55)
    Button ($63.45)
    SB ($49.50)
    Hero (BB) ($50)
    UTG ($63)

    Preflop: Hero is BB with K, Q
    5 folds, CO calls $0.50, 1 fold, SB bets $3, Hero calls $2.50, 1 fold

    Flop: ($6.50) K, 8, 2 (2 players)
    SB checks, Hero checks

    Turn: ($6.50) 7 (2 players)
    SB bets $3.50, Hero raises to $11

    Villain is a 17/14 fairly typical FR tagg. He c-bets about 75% over 3k hands. Additionally, he doesn’t like to c-bet with weak top-pair hands and other hands with decent showdown value.

    I'm debating between two ways of playing my range here. The first is to barrel 3 streets with my strongest hands and some Ax, while checking behind everything else. The second is to check behind the flop 100%. Thoughts?

    Half of the time I'm checking behind to under represent the strength of my hand. One bet goes in on turn and river.

    Recently I've been experimenting in this sort of spot by betting 1/3 pot with my entire range. Obviously as a bluff it is often extremely profitable as it makes maximum advantage of the times he is c/folding (which on this flop is probably not that much but on some other flops you get a fold a huge % of the time). It also allows us to vbet thinner.
