Poker Stars, $0.25/$0.50 No Limit Hold'em Cash, 6 Players

SB: $94.18 (188.4 bb)
BB: $75.29 (150.6 bb)
UTG: $16.05 (32.1 bb)
Hero (MP): $113.35 (226.7 bb)
CO: $65.03 (130.1 bb)
BTN: $158.12 (316.2 bb) 19/15/7 over 350h

Preflop: Hero is MP with K Q
UTG calls $0.50, Hero raises to $2, CO folds, BTN calls $2, 2 folds, UTG calls $1.50

Flop: ($6.75) K 8 A (3 players)
UTG checks, Hero checks, BTN bets $3.22, UTG folds, Hero calls $3.22

Turn: ($13.19) 4 (2 players)
Hero checks, BTN bets $6.30, Hero calls $6.30

River: ($25.79) 9 (2 players)
Hero checks, BTN bets $11, Sizing?

I guess on flop check/calling is standard? Should we consider betting here?

On turn calling is okay due to stack sizes? I put him on like AT-AQ+ however i discount AK at some point. Or i shouldnt?

River is pretty clear raise. Sizing? I lose to 2 combos i guess. Or i should add some more due to stacksizes?

Hi there,

pre flop standard

Flop I think it's a clear check, no sense in betting. x/c seems good, even better BU is making it cheap. We should probably x/c a lot of weak Axs as well.

Turn I would x/f blank. On that turn and given his sizing pretty clear, we have pretty much direct odds to call, and we have some implied. I don't think villain has AK very much no, he should 3bet pre flop. His range is like AT-AQ, 88, A8s, maybe A4s. And hands like JcTc, maybe Tc9c, maaaaybe 67s.

River x/r is good. Pre flop he might call with all Axs but I don't think he always plays like this flop and turn with a hand like A :club:5 :club:, I think he checks a lot, either flop or turn.

Sizing, I think he is gonna fold AJ-AQ anyway so we might as well raise bigger and get paid off by 88 and A8s. I would make it like ~48$.

Wow, thats a huge raise. Im snap folding A8 to such sizing. With 88 it would be really tough.

you rep A:c X:c pretty hard. however since he bet small and his range is probably not very elastic i like to raise bigger as well, might have the added benefit of having him level himself

Well, if you think he'll fold 88 (although nitty players have a hard time folding really strong hands) make it smaller, but don't make it like 33$, i think you'll miss value.
