Top pair – 3rd highest kicker. Should I call 17 BB River Bet?
Ignition - $0.50 NL (6 max) - Holdem - 5 players
Hand converted by PokerTracker 4

CO: 0 BB
BTN: 269.26 BB
SB: 90.22 BB
BB: 125.84 BB
Hero (UTG): 99.64 BB

SB posts SB 0.5 BB, BB posts BB 1 BB

Pre Flop: (pot: 1.5 BB) Hero has J♣ K♣

Hero calls 1 BB, fold, fold, fold, BB checks

Flop: (2.5 BB, 2 players) 5♥ K♠ 7♦
BB checks, Hero bets 2.38 BB, BB calls 2.38 BB

Turn: (7.26 BB, 2 players) 2♥
BB checks, Hero bets 6.9 BB, BB raises to 13.8 BB, Hero calls 6.9 BB

River: (34.86 BB, 2 players) Q♦
BB bets 16.56 BB, fold

BB wins 33.12 BB

You dont call here. your most likely beat.

Dont ever limp UTG , your hand is good to open UTG.
Your bet sizing is so polarized you either have a great hand or nothing.
So if he bets for value on the river your likely beat.

(unless you know his a maniac)

Limp mp is bad. Raise to build a pot. As played his range is unpredictable after the flop, so we have no idea what he has on the turn except it must be good enough to reraise, so we're likely beat. I think this is an excellent example why limping first in is bad. I think you let yourself get drawn out on with some shitty hand like 57 or K5 or pushed around with a busted straight draw and you didn't let him pay for it preflop.

I will stop limping when I stop winning. 50NL is going well so far.

I doubt a first in limp on NL50 is to profitable or on Ignition the player pool is extreme soft, but I never play there. I would always raise first in to like 3x and Cbet most flops.
