Hi guys

Got a little bit lost in this hand.
My thoughts are that BU is 3b a bit light but UTG being tight a 4b coul just make his top range call or come over the top.

What do you guys think and would you continue with the hand pre, post flop specially on turn?

EUR NL Texas Hold'em, $0.05 / $0.10 (6-handed) - Played on IPoker
. Converted by GrinderSchool's Hand History Converter

Seat 1: HERO (BB) ( €10.00 EUR )
Seat 3: UTG ( €10.00 EUR ) - VPIP/PFR was unknown at the time, looked fairly tight.
Seat 5: MP ( €8.18 EUR ) - VPIP: 38, PFR: 25, 3B: 20, AF: 0.5, Hands: 8
Seat 6: CO ( €13.41 EUR ) - VPIP: 17, PFR: 10, 3B: 7, AF: 2.0, Hands: 29
Seat 8: Btn ( €10.74 EUR ) - VPIP: 21, PFR: 16, 3B: 12, AF: 2.6, Hands: 262
Seat 10: SB ( €9.45 EUR ) - VPIP: 22, PFR: 19, 3B: 15, AF: 0.0, Hands: 59

SB posts small blind $0.05
HERO posts big blind $0.10

PreFlop: Dealt to HERO [K A]
UTG raises to $0.30, 2 folds, Btn raises to $0.90, SB folds, HERO calls $0.80, UTG calls $0.60

FLOP 8 9 K (Pot=$2.75)
HERO checks, UTG checks, Btn checks

TURN 3 (Pot=$2.75)
HERO bets $1.30, UTG raises to $2.70, Btn folds, HERO ?????

Thank you in advance

First of all I will ask you why are you playing on this super tight table?
I would have 4 bet.

Hi peddy,

I think that both 4betting and just calling are perfectly valid preflop. I have found at NL10 that players fold everything to 4bets and 5bet AA,KK (assuming 100bb stacks.) As such, 4betting this spot will be profitable but I think we would lose the value AKs has vs BTNs loose 3betting range (approximately 12%) if we 4bet here as villain will simply fold the vast majority of the time.

Turn - is blank and changes nothing. We would expect villain to bet all value on the flop and so it is reasonable to suspect weakness. I would suggest flatting villains turn raise and planning to check-call all rivers.

Nothing wrong with this table IMO.
