NL10 blind defense

KJo and KTo are both easy call pre versus BTN 2.5x.

I think you played the hand well.

X/Raising flop for thin value/protection with TP is very villain dependent in general and given the sample size I guess you don't have the required info, although I do think its an interesting option given the flop texture as he is likely to 3Bet with all of his strong value hands and therefore you're not in too bad shape when he does call with worse hands (FD/OESD/Jx), but i still think calling is the better option as you have to fold to a 3bet and don't want to turn your hand into a bluff.

Anyway I think river fold is good given the ace and BDFD which completed and QT and T7 got there OTT and he can still have all sets.

Hi redrawstump

Preflop: looks fine

Postflop: If you do raise the flop how big of a pot are you willing to play assuming he calls?

It's definitely a good option vs people that play draws passively (and call down weaker made hands).

As played river fold is fine and given the double turn draw you could raise here for value too and we aren't too upset if we have to fold vs a 3-bet.

Most of his draws will rarely ship the turn

weee raise flop obv.

As played x/raise river imo

As played river fold is fine and given the double turn draw you could raise here for value too and we aren't too upset if we have to fold vs a 3-bet.

ignore that

thanks for the comments

still working on my blind defence game so playing on the tighter side. At NL10 I'm finding that villains have reasonable grasp of what hands to open but unsure to what level they have appreciation of position. Don't think I'd call lower than KTo though.

@rakevictim - how's the bluff-raising on the river working out for ya?
