I would like to know how you would of played it diff... bet sizing? calling the river? flatting the turn!!

Thanks

Flop raise size seems ok to me - can obv go bigger but it's a dry flop, he might re-raise due to small sizing, etc.

After check raising flop why do you check the turn again? You have the initiative so I'd lead out. As played, once you've decided to check the turn, surely check-raising again instead of check-calling?

I'd have bet out around $1.40 on the turn as board is getting wet, if he re-raises me I'm going with it... i think the problem with the check-call on the turn is you really don't know where you are on the river so he may well just be repping the Queen. I doubt he has AK btw as I reckon he'd have re-raised you on the flop.

Fwiw, K-10 or J-10 I predict!

[SuuPRlim]

fold pf imo.

would bet the turn again.

would then prolly cf river

As per Dave,

Folding pre is fine, calling isn't so bad at this level?

Check raise more, checking turn seems very wrong.  You need to bet more.

River is a horrid card, check folding is fine.

Stats are fairly meaningless after 10 hands, but what is 50?

[Pugwashed]

Might 3bet pre since its small blind vs button, you should be more inclined to 3bet vs someone 3xing the button rather than minraising but who the big blind is will also be a big part of the decision. If its a reg who squeezes a lot then 3bet is better than flat, if its a fish then flatting and letting him come along probably becomes better.

Flop raise should be bigger. I'd bet/fold the turn. He's probably checking back Kx pretty often but we can still get more value from it and he's probably gonna call turn with a lot of pair + straight draws that we can get value from. As played the river is a check/fold, the only thing we might beat is Jx turned into a bluff but I think that happens almost never(and your hand might look a lot like Qx with this line which makes him less likely to bluff and on the turn he is probably just gonna take his showdown value with Jx even though it really has none). Would expect to get shown straights or full houses almost always when calling the river (he can still have all sets, KQ, AT etc).

Calling pre is fine. Folding is pretty terrible imo

Raise flop bigger so we can set up stacks for turn + river shove.

Turn is somewhat thin vs his range, Still betting though.

River easy check fold

Also if we check turn, it should be to check fold imo

[pleno1]

folding pre really is beyond terrible, flatting is fine/great.

flop 1.20

turn bet/fold.

UTG open and we're calling KJo in the SB, gl us.

Also c/r flop bigger

Definitely lead turn.

Turns out he had J Q I dont think I could of got him off it if I raised the turn, but I definately agree I need to bet more on the flop!!

Still Improving!!

[JustinSayne]

I dont think I could of got him off it if I raised the turn

Need to change this attitude too. You only wanted to "get him off of it" because he rivers gin.

Very True!! Good point!

[SuuPRlim]

when a man can only win with 2 outs, keep him in imo
