Obviously I was looking to check-raise-shove the turn, and I think Villain probably realized that when the hand went to showdown. About 10 minutes later, this hand came up, and I thought that given that last hand he would probably bet-call his J’s and maybe even T’s on the turn, so I again went for a check-raise:

Button ($675)

Preflop: Hero is BB with Kh, Kc.

Turn: ($221.20) 2c (2 players)

It’s extremely unlikely that Villain checks a hand better than KK on the turn or that the 8 improves him to one, so I think I have functionally the nuts. I also think Villain will realize his hand is face-up as one weak pair. Hopefully he’ll still be willing to put me on a big draw that whiffed a turn check-shove…
