i am just wondering if my play here is good in the long run

no real reads on the villian
1/2 game effective stacks are 115

I open the CO with KcKs to 10 and villian calls on the button, blinds fold

Flop QdJh6c

i bet 15 and villian calls

Turn 9d

i check (should i continue to barrel this turn? doesn't seem like the best turn for me) and villian bets 45, i call

River 6h
Hero?

I would likely bet the turn and get it in if raised. Fairly short stack so I think that is standard.

Welcome to the forum, OP. Please don't post results. It biases advice. I took them out.

Depends on where you are playing, but $10 seems pretty small, pre. Given it got you just one caller though, that may be fie in your area.

Flop bet is fine. I prob go a touch bigger, but 3/4 pot is respectable. The board is wet enough and smacks his range hard enough that I'd likely go full-pot.

Turn is usually a bet/fold, imo. We get a lot of value from 9T that added a pair to go with the SD, or QT/JT that added a gutshot to its pair. Even though a raise is likely 2-pair+, I'm not sure we're deep enough to get away in this case. If we bet $30, pot will be $110 with his call, and a shove would only be $60 more effective. We'd only need 26% equity to call and a range of 44,QJ,Q9s,JdTd gets us 27%.

AP, I don't mind calling his turn bet, as he could be overvaluing top pair, or pair+draw, but I wouldn't call unimproved on the river.

one of the best river cards for you. either jam yourself or check call.

The only hands that improve on the turn are KT, Q9, and J9. It creates the potential for some of villain's range to draw to a backdoor straight draw so I think we can get value from a lot of worse hands.

112 effective so after pre you have 102 and pot is already ~23, bet $25 on flop, then stacks are $75 and pot is ~$75, then jam turn.

@Garick, bet fold as played on the turn doesn't really work given stack sizes. Pot is ~$53 and stacks are $87. Not sure of any sizing where I'd wanna bet/fold. If I'm checking turn, just ship the other $40 in there if he pots it like this, or fold if you have a solid read. Really though as played you should just bet/call turn.

As played river you only have like $40 left, just donk jam it in there. Too risky that he x/b his Qx/QJ/Jx, etc.

That's what I said.

^ My bad, I should stop skimming posts and actually read them in detail. Agree with your post.

Flop : Good bet, good size.

Turn : Bet it ourselves, please! 30$ will do. Many hands in villain's range have improved their equity and/or showdown, but won't bet themselves, at least not as often as they call (JT, J8, T9, AT). Once we check, I think we should shove over the bet. Our raise will just be double the bet. I'm not looking to make a big fold later with our hand, or let villain bet & then check back or fold some hands later. Get it in.

River : Shove it. You will get called by more hands than villain will bet. Letting a typical low stakes live NL player value bet your hand for you is just torching value.
