considering i don't think he's EVER checking two pair or a set on that flop after he checks broadway to him, no it wouldn't be hard.

Even raising pre is solid given it's getting deeper in the tournament and you have one of the deep stacks, calling him down is exactly the way to play it because he's obviously calling pre with broadway cards or a pair and he's a tricky player who might pop you with a lot of hands to that flop.  wp.

Yes because hero has a boat almost never. He would have to be checking behind a set or two pair on the flop. I mean no way would I fold KQ there ever.

After your turn call, he continues to bet into you.  What do you beat other than a pair-missed draw combo or missed flush.  I think a fold on the river is reasonable unless you have a read on villian having air here.  And obv you have a read because you called his hand in the chat.

i told gb i would play it the same. but i feel like when i check flops like this or say JJ on a QTx board im almost tying myself into calling on later streets.

i agree and would play the hand the same way...my point was just to take things a step further.....
considering that these are 2 thinking players gb has got to ask himself what hand pokerpro would likely be calling with out of the small blind against another big stack. KQ is definitely a possiblility. So on that flop, assuming pokerpro puts him on a big ace, is it not entirely possible that gb would check behind in the hopes that the board would pair? When the board does pair would GB get any action if he did reraise the turn? When smooth called does that definitely tell pokerpro that he has AK/AQ?

My point is only that yes, against non-thinking players, GB took the optimal line. However, against GB i don't think pokerpro could call a shove with KQ as played, because he knows that theres no way GB is shoving anything that broadway beats.

Knowing you are up against a person who's game you respect, what does everyone here do if the river is shoved and you are pokerpro??? I maintain that a call is not so simple.

I thought this was an interesting hand as well gb but I agree with what the majority said and that you played it optimally.  I think you could possibly fold river to an extremly tight player but never someone like me.  I would have played it the same way.
