Hand converted with online PokerStrategy.com hand converter:

Play hand

$0.01/$0.02 No-Limit Hold'em (4 handed)

Known players:
[tg]BU$4.29:///////;SB (Hero)$5.00:///////;BB$7.50:///////;CO$4.04:///////;[/tg]

Preflop: Hero is SB with K:c, A:c.
CO folds, BU raises to $0.06, Hero raises to $0.24, BB folds, BU calls $0.18.

Flop: ($0.5) J:c, 8:d, J:d (2 players)
Hero checks, BU checks.

Turn: ($0.5) A:d (2 players)
Hero checks, BU checks.

River: ($0.5) 9:c (2 players)
Hero bets $0.38, BU raises to $4.04, Hero folds, BU gets uncalled bet back.

Final Pot: $0.88.

Any suggestions? I had no incentive to check-call the river because villain seemed willing to check it down, so I figured a value bet would be in order. On the turn I checked because the Ace seemed too scary for villain to call with a marginal hand, also I wanted to keep the pot small in case I was behind, and when he has an A that I beat I figured I would only get 1 street anyway and prefer to bet the river.

Hey Briccius,

Preflop 3b for value is fine.

Flop check is fine, although it would be reasonable to cbet with the backdoors. Check/call can also be considered.

Turn check is again fine but a mandatory x/c this time. Betting 2 streets for value is also an option.

River lead for value is standard. We only lose to slowplays and 99 on the river but players don't bluff like this often at this limit so bet/fold is good.
