BB defend - KJ

Should I donk and push him as hard as I can to make him fold ASAP? Check-raise for the same reason?

You have top pair with a nice kicker! Why should you try to make him fold? Better hands are few and probably are not that likely to fold, while you can still get value out of worst hands and bluffs.

3betting here is fine since KJo is the top of your folding range. I think I'm making a larger size, maybe even 1€ that's because I don't want to give him good odds to call the 3bet too often.

On the flop you can either cbet or x/c. By cbetting you ofcourse make some hands fold, but you also get called by weaker 2nd pair type hands. Checking is nice, because whenever your opponent bets gets "polarized" between strong hands and air. 2nd pair would definitely check back for SD value.

Of course trying to get to the SD by playing in this way from OOP is sick and it's not easy, but if you've got the right infos you can try such a play.

Leading the turn may not be that good since he's probably folding random hands an continuing only with the good ones.... Then a 2nd check could be the best solution.

Hi Zhuvyte

Preflop: looks fine

Postflop: your line doesn't really make sense.

We should bet the flop there but as played why would you want him to fold asap when you have TP? You should look at getting called by worse when you bet.
