I'd bet. You gotta fold if he c/rs, but there's value there.
No_Neck
I would bet around $35, and then stare at the screen till I timed out if raised.

Double postaments.
Acid_Knight
I also would've bet more like $18 or $20 on the turn.

Hmmm.


Check, bet, call
Check, bet, call
Check, bet, call
Check, ?

I guess we bet and get called again.
Hopefully, this is a weaker K or a PP villain just loves looking at.

I think I would check. If he has a weaker king, and we don't bet enough to scare him, he might shove and we'd have to fold. I'd prefer not to do that. I agree with Acid betting the turn bigger makes it 100000000% easier to check the river down on a retarded card like this.
Acid_Knight
I just noticed this is BvB. I definitely bet here a higher % of the time becuase his calling range is a lot wider for that reason alone.

How often do you think a bet here induces a shove, whether or not villain has a hand that beats us?

You're a better player than me, but I think a bet just opens the door to be outplayed. Then again, pairing the board is a scare card if he holds a flush and may just call fearing a boat.

Not that it changes any of my statements, but for some reason I thought the flop was AQx, not KQx and I thought we rivered 2 pair and not trips.

I don't think that betting induces a raise too often at all and almost never by a hand that we beat. I do think it's very likely that he will call with a QJ type of hand here and will certainly pay us off with lesser kings.

I think it'll be very hard for him to raise with a bluff since I think bluff raising in these situations is not in a lot of people's arsenals.

He will call with many worse hands here. Our hand is too strong to check. If he c/rs, then we're probably folding, but I am pretty sure we show a good profit by betting here.
