0.10/0.25 No-Limit Hold'em (6 handed)
Hand recorder used for this poker hand: Texas Grabem 1.9 by www.pokerstrategy.com.

Preflop: Hero is BB with A♣, K♦
MP2 calls $0.25, 2 folds, BU raises to $1.10, SB folds, Hero raises to $3.30, MP2 folds, BU calls $2.20.

Flop: ($6.95) 8♣, 2♣, 6♠ (2 players)
Hero bets $5, BU calls $5.00.

Standard contibet on a dry flop on which a great part of his range missed

Turn: ($16.95) J♥ (2 players)
Hero bets $7, BU calls $7.00.

That J made me a bit nervous, as JJ was in his range, however i chose to 2nd barrel him here as I feared a float, and obviously fold to a shove.

River: ($30.95) 3♦ (2 players)
Hero bets $9.70 (All-In), BU folds.

The river doesn't change much, however since i had ~10$ left into a 31$ pot i chose to go all in. Basically i have to win in 25% of the cases to break even. In a BU vs BB situation i expected him to 4bet QQ+, so the only hands that would call me would be JJ/AJ. Was the river play too risky?

Final Pot: $40.65

hi
if you decide to double barrel just shove the turn because you have left exactly a pot size bet l and you want as much fold equity as you can . beting 1/2 pot will get lots of calls from pocket pairs or board pairs


Against unknown it is not terrible, but I'd bet 6$ on the flop to have extra fold equity against low pp-s which are probably mostly BU calling range and shove turn. If you bet 1/2 pot on the flop, BU get very good odds calling river with any pair, (also flusdraw missed) plus he might shove turn and you have then a facing very tough fold or call.
