Hello!

IPoker, $0.10/$0.20 No Limit Hold'em Cash, 6 Players
Poker Tools Powered By Holdem Manager - The Ultimate Poker Software Suite.

Hero (BB): $21.11 (105.6 bb)
UTG: $9.45 (47.2 bb)
MP: $20 (100 bb)
CO: $30.98 (154.9 bb)
BTN: $41.20 (206 bb)
SB: $30.26 (151.3 bb)

Preflop: Hero is BB with K T
4 folds, SB raises to $0.60, Hero raises to $1.60, SB calls $1

Flop: ($3.20) J K J (2 players)
SB checks, Hero checks

Turn: ($3.20) 9 (2 players)
SB bets $2.20, Hero calls $2.20

River: ($7.60) 7 (2 players)
SB bets $5, Hero calls $5

Preflop: The SB is unkown, but looks like aggressive reg. Think KTo is a bit too weak to call (or maybe I'm wrong), so i decided to bluff 3bet. I usually do it 1bb less than 3x when ip, because I expect the same FE as with 3x 3bets, which makes my bluff cheaper. He called and I supose he doesn't have just any crap. Believe he has a broadway or a middle pocket pair.

Flop: That flop hits his range and I don't think I have to protect from flushdraws. If I bet, I will only get folds from worse hands, like underpairs. So, i decided to take a passive line and check back.

Turn: I don't believe that 9 helps him much, but at that point I expect him to have some sort of a hand when he bets. He might have Jx, KQ, AK, KJ. But he might sometimes have AQ, or an underpair, something like 77-88 or TT. Decided to call, but I believe I have to plan folding if he continues his aggression on the river, expecially if the board becomes more dangerous.

River: Even though he looks aggressive, I think I have to fold there because his turn and river bets looks realy strong and I can't expect an unknown to bluff.

SB: 36/27/50(2)/0(1)/100/10,0/33 (VPIP/PFR/SB_RFI/Ft3B/FtFlopCB/AF/H)

I think this is a snap call pre. Too strong to 3b imo

As played I'd take the same line as you

I saw that you have posted stats, but if sample is 33h then its irrelevant.

For me its easy call. Play IP and make his life hard.

I don't like your assumption that he can have AK if you assume that he is somewhat aggressive.

If you think that he can turn something like T9s or some FD`s into a bluff, then calling might be fine, but in general calling shouldn't show you a profit. You cant have strong hand given the line you have taken.

Yes, probably you're right. Those were my first hands at NL20 and all players are unknown to me, so I rather choose 3b bluffs than calls, for now. :)

His turn bet doesn't look like a pure bluff, indeed, and especially his river bet. Think the best move would be flat preflop, check back flop, call turn and fold river..
