I agree with betting much bigger ott...
Result is I folded, my thinking was pretty much in line with MrSneeze's post. Having played with villain some more since then, I dont believe he would bluff jam this spot enough to justify a call.

Point taken on turn sizing however, half pot is way too small.

Just considering you can have Qs+ at any juncture of this hand, I don't think he can just bet river liberally...

If effective stacks are like 250+bb deep then I think flatting a raise pre is fine, a lot of implied here and you're never going broke on A44 (hopefully). Flop, I think xcall is fine, I don't like leading as you're often left in weird spots ott if it's not a spade, and xcalling a brick turn is too face up. as played, on a spade turn, especially the 7s, I prefer leading - if raised, you can call and eval riv. if you get called ott and bet riv and V raises, then you can call or fold depending on your read/bet size. I think turn is pretty disastrous as you lose value, give a free draw, and get no information on any V's hand.

Max makes a good point about live reads. Their initial reaction is not as important as any noticable change in their demeanor. Anyone can act __ for a short time but anything beyond 10sec is hard to keep up.

Personally I would call 80% and fold 20%. I would never show that I'm folding KK though.

Do you never 3bet suited conn from the blind vs LP open? How often does V 4bet QQ? At 300bb deep you have a lot of options even from oop. Id take a flop and play some post. If you have strong flats as well as some speculative hands in your 3bet/call range then he can't just go crazy post.

Also, I'd 3bet bigger. Live sizing, deep, 4-4.5x isn't out of line from bb

I dont like the non std sizing otf. Not sure that it prevents anyone, especially button, from floating with broadway combos, bd fd, etc. Also i think you want to get a little more value from 77/88/78/76/floats etc while you can. But as far as your line, I think you played it fine.

5 dealt first, then 3 at a time for two draws, then one at a time for the remaining two deals

We can rep more than just the nuts in this spot by 3betting flop considering any cold calling range would be fairly defined. also, when both sb and btn are spots you are ilkely to get calls otf after you 3 bet by at least one, setting up turn for a nice fat bet. furthermore, are we holding the 6d or 3d by chance? I think this would be an important piece of information considering we are oop and it is essentially a single raise family pot.

what is the pot on the turn and your spr? seems like 1100 is a bit small considering they can have many pair+draw/combo draws -- I feel like you're missing value if you aren't betting at least 75% of pot, I also think river will play much easier considering the pot size will differ

The hand on Table 1, where you have KhQd on 5d6h3h8d board and overbet the turn -- had this been a deepstack game, 250bb+, what is your plan for river if villain actually calls? Or is this more of a one-and-done type of bluff? 

Young white kid dressed like a rapper gets stacked by an old man at the Bellagio 10/20NL. Old man had Top set AA with nfd on thr turn, other kid had mid two pair. They got it in on turn. Anyway, rapper wannabe talks about how he cant believe he lost to some old guy who doesnt even know the game. Old man replies, "Son, I've forgotten more about poker than you've ever even known." 

Not really fishy but, gramps 1, identity crisis 0. 

x/r'ing a turn bet of 140 to 300 doesn't really seem like spew to me. He's trying to get value, most likely with JT/J9... could possible be a flush Ks9s/Ks8s type of hands, too. I would probably ship it in there, you still have AxAs/AsQx in your range that he would think he beats. ship so you get max... the riv might bring a card that he might perceive as one that beats him.
