Poker Stars, $0.02/$0.05 No Limit Hold'em Cash, 6 Players
Poker Tools Powered By Holdem Manager - The Ultimate Poker Software Suite.

Hero (SB): $5.67 (113.4 bb)
BB: $6.12 (122.4 bb)
UTG: $6.59 (131.8 bb)
MP: $9.67 (193.4 bb)
CO: $5.07 (101.4 bb)
BTN: $5.57 (111.4 bb)

Preflop: Hero is SB with K J
UTG folds, MP calls $0.05, 2 folds, Hero raises to $0.20, BB folds, MP calls $0.15

Flop: ($0.45) K 8 5 (2 players)
Hero bets $0.30, MP calls $0.30

Turn: ($1.05) J (2 players)
Hero bets $0.65, MP raises to $1.30, Hero calls $0.65

River: ($3.65) J (2 players)
Hero checks, MP bets $2, Hero raises to $3.87 and is all-in, MP calls $1.87

Villain unknown, still he limp/calls pre so I guess he isn't regular

F: std cbet, 4protection and value from weaker Kx, FDs maybe 99-QQ.

T: interesting card, what should I do? Imo its WAWB - Im getting called mostly by Kxs and made flushes (there aren't many single :spade: high enough to call).

By raise villain actually doesn't represent anything, maybe low SCs afraid of next :spade: , but may those be in his pre range?

Fold vs minraise is 2 weak in here. I can raise/fold here or call T and x/call R (if not upgraded).

Why I chose second option:
- seems to be a bit cheaper
- more value from bluffs
- im commiting less on turn, so able to fold on :spade: river

Actually there are a lot of fishes which can be defined "regulars" since they play a lot and even multitable, so as long as he limp/calls you can only say that probably he's a fish, but not that he isn't a regular ;)

I'm definitely betting way bigger on the flop. 3/4 of the pot is fine, but even go close to pot is good since he's calling with TP and weaker kicker, 2nd pairs, lot of draws...

On the turn you should actually bet 4value: again, bet bigger! Ofcourse :spade: could be improving is range, but actually he can have something like K :diamond:T :spade: so he NOW has a FD and you should vbet against it. I'm again betting at least 3/4 of the pot.

The raise looks really strong, but it's just a minraise. 3bet/folding makes no sense, basically means you're transforming your hand into a bluff, and as you said you're playing WA/WB, then bettere to be careful. Imho either you 3bet/call or you just call down. I think I'm calling to carefully evaluate the river.

Here the river is easy, so you really can't play different. But think what would you have done if he bet 2€ on a blank :)
