Poker Stars, Limit Hold'em Cash, 5 Players

Preflop: Hero is SB with 9 K
3 folds, Hero raises, BB 3-bets, Hero calls

Flop: (6 SB) 9 4 7 (2 players)
Hero checks, BB bets, Hero calls

Turn: (4 BB) 3 (2 players)
Hero checks, BB bets, Hero raises, BB calls

River: (8 BB) J (2 players)
Hero bets, BB raises, Hero calls

Results: 12 BB pot (0.4 BB rake)
Final Board: 9 4 7 3 J

Is it ok to Call a weaker hand like TP on Flop and Check/raise-Turn in blind battle situations? Especially the BB vs SB??

Yes, I think so, but not against good opponents. They will check back a lot of hands on turn when they have reasonable, but not good enough to bet, showdown value, especially if they know you wait until turn. (I always take notes on stuff like this - and use them.)

I expect a lot of players on the micros to bet the Turn again with even overcards that have not flushdraw. KT KQ Ax with fd he may bet. Qx QT QJ with flushdraw etc. In a bvb-situation its fine to checkraise the Turn. Since you may have the flush, he won't certainly come over the top with overpairs that have no :spade: And also with TT and JJ with :spade. i would not 3bet. When you think that hes checking back a lot and not carry on barreling too much, you should right away checkraise the Flop and not wait for the turn. Your flush is just a bluffcatcher against his range on the River but your hand is just too good to consider folding. Since you'd check/call sometimes with maybe 97 , a set or QQ KK no :spade: it's certainly ok to check/call the River but i prefer betting over checking since his raisingrange is quite narrow with K and A :spade: and most players will call all the Overpairs with no :spade:

As a default checkraise Flop but as played bet/call River!
