Hi Zukes

Why do you think he is capable of calling a 4x hand or even kx on flop and raise the turn, especially that big?

It doesn't make sense to raise 4x there on the turn so you are looking at a flush or a bluff (float), or maybe a full house.

I would have preferred a larger bet on the turn and folding to a raise because your tiny bet can also induce a lot (you are betting less than half, why?).

Hi Bogdan. I think weak players often float low boards thinking their overcards might hit or they assume we also miss and can easily bluff us off. This is probably less likely in this case because we bet nearly pot on the flop. Also weaker players tend to slowplay strong hands on the flop and start raising on later streets imo.

As for the small turn bet, I think I bet exactly half pot but my HM2 shows an extra BB in the pot which was actually raked? I've noticed this in many other hand reviews too. My reasoning for 1/2 PS is that the Kd is a scary card and we get less value from pocket pairs that called the flop.

I think we easily extract more value from Xd, Kx hands by betting larger.

I also think that most of the pocket pairs that call you on the flop, would call once again on this turn (88-JJ ?)

I don't know how big BogdanPS suggests to bet the turn, I'd bet like 2/3

Definitely betting there at least 2/3 pot.

If you go with the assumption that fish will bluff here often and you bet small to induce that how can you fold the river to his smaller bet?

You called because you think his range is wide, so call down.
