Hi,

this hand is an example. I am really struggling with stealing from the SB.

The raise OTF is funny. Villain probably does not have Top pair here because that hand doesn't need that much protection and it might get more value by calling.

Is it an option to not cbet? x/c flop ... then what?

PokerStars - $0.02 NL FAST (6 max) - Holdem - 6 players
Hand converted by PokerTracker 4

BTN: $4.44
Hero (SB): $2.31
BB: $2.06
UTG: $2.05
MP: $2.02
CO: $2.00

Hero posts SB $0.01, BB posts BB $0.02

Pre Flop: (pot: $0.03) Hero has K♦ 9♦

fold, fold, fold, fold, Hero raises to $0.06, BB calls $0.04

Flop: ($0.12, 2 players) 5♣ 8♠ A♥
Hero bets $0.06, BB raises to $0.18, fold,

Stealing is tough. Especially out of position against most likely a fish.
The ace is a decent card to Cbet on. It hit your range more than his, but this time it didn't work out for you.
