Hello,

I believe I played well OTF but what should I have done ONT?

No stats on the BTN.

Poker Stars, $0.01/$0.02 No Limit Hold'em Cash, 6 Players

SB: $4.43 (221.5 bb)
Hero (BB): $2 (100 bb)
UTG: $3.11 (155.5 bb)
MP: $2.39 (119.5 bb)
CO: $1.11 (55.5 bb)
BTN: $2.05 (102.5 bb)

Preflop: Hero is BB with 6♣: 8♥:
3 folds, BTN raises to $0.04, SB folds, Hero calls $0.02

Flop: ($0.09) 8♠: 6♠: T♦: (2 players)
Hero checks, BTN bets $0.10, Hero raises to $0.40, BTN calls $0.30

Turn: ($0.89) A♦: (2 players)
Hero checks, BTN bets $0.43, Hero calls $0.43

River: ($1.75) 4♠: (2 players)
Hero checks, BTN bets $0.18, Hero calls $0.18

Results:

Spoiler

$2.11 pot ($0.07 rake)
Final Board: 8♠: 6♠: T♦: A♦: 4♠:
Hero mucked 6♣: 8♥: and lost (-$1.05 net)

Interesting hand.

Really dont like your turn play!
You check raise on flop, and on turn roll out A, and you check/call.

On turn I see two options:
1)bet-> get it in or,
2)check fold to raise, or
in this situation:
3)check/push on turn.

86o is a check only from the BB. Don't play this hand in any other spot.

I don't really like the flop checkraise... because our hand is not strong enough if it gets All-In on the flop and we can be outdrawn pretty easily.

If you, however, check-raise this for value, you should definitely cbet the turn. He can often hold the A himself with a flushdraw, or just calls another time with 2nd pair because he perceives you on a flushdraw. By checking you give too many free cards to villain which will hurt your winnings in the long run a LOT.

Would probably go for something like $0,55 here.

River is an easy call, as played.

Small advice: Try to think more about his flop-calling range and then adapt your play to that. :)

GL at the tables

Fold preflop and save the money and the trouble...
As played on flop, you should bet turn.
After you x you should xr turn.

BB vs BTN minraise we can call very wide. 86o is right about on the bottom of our calling range there imo. Check/raising the flop is fine imo, but I think we should bet the turn. We don't want to give free cards. When he played flop like that, he would usually have a draw or an overpair and those are more likelly to call our bet than to bet vs our check. As played, I would check/shove the turn.

That's probably the most solid advice. The more I think about folding, the more I like the idea. Offsuite my range ends at 97o in the BB vs BTN minraise
