The flop bet is one of those questionable things. As long as we're not hoping to just take the pot down, it's fine. If we're betting hoping not to be called, then we're bluffing with a pair of Kings.
We should be able to be called by quite a few weaker hands - Qx, draws - though, so betting the flop is probably good for value. Can't stand any aggression, though.
To answer DoubleAAA's question; I wouldn't be calling any decent sized river bet. We can't beat any value bets so would just be bluff-catching against missed draws... and there really aren't any. The only hands we'd beat would be weaker one-pair hands that he's turning into a bluff. That's unlikely.
In Response to Re: Could I have got more?: What would be wrong with hoping to take the pot down at that stage? At the time, it was simply a continuation bet which we could then use to re-evaluate, if called. I guess it was a semi-bluff/semi-value bet as we're losing to any ace but other than that we're in good shape (most of the time). He was in position so it is plausible that he didn't have an ace as he would be playing a wider range of hands. When he called my flop bet though, I thought he had it - that's why I slowed down on the turn.
should I have called the river even though I am only really beating air?
Should I have turned my hand into a bluff?
Is 18bb too big to shove preflop?
Also starting the hand with 18bb's doesnt leave much room for manoeuvre. No real reads on villain (only just moved tables about 5 hands). It's from the £11 2k BH
Regarding the thing about blinds being aggro, if you shove, they can no longer be aggro as the only action presented to them is to either call or fold, seeing as it is infact a BH, they may well call you with a weak holding so a shove wouldn't be that bad tbh but not for 18bbs
If it were a mtt (BH is fine also) then you can m/r you'll give them the option to shove on you, thinking they can make you fold. It really depends on your reads on the people in the blinds upon how to play your hand optimally.
