1/2 NL, effective stacks about 275. I am new to table. Main villain appears South Asian. LJ limps, SB completes, I raise to 15 with KK in BB. Flop is 986,r. I bet 15, raise to 35, I call. Turn is a 3 making a 2-flush. I check, bets 57. Should I call with the intention of calling the river or reevaluate? Shove or fold? Should I have checked this flop?

Checking range on flop. Call and reevaluate river.

Did SB fold? What's the pot size here?

Mostly just checking this flop from OOP. It's going to hit V's range a lot. If we bet and get called it does nothing to define his range, and it sucks to get raised.

As played, the turn is a brick, when he's repping 2P+ on the flop. So, nothing has changed. If we were ahead, we still are, but I doubt we are, so I think we should fold.

I'd need an exploitative reason to bet flop (e.g. LJ doesn't stab but calls wide). I believe you can call turn and fold river (pot will be around 220 with 170ish behind).

I don't mind a fold on turn versus IP's line of raise 2.5x on flop-55% on turn, though. Of course, there are a number of natural bluffs on this board (e.g. QJ, TJ, T9, 78) but what indication do you have that LJ would make an aggressive play when he has enough equity to comfortably call flop and xb turn with most of these combos?

Did the SB check/raise or did the LJ raise your c-bet?

I'm assuming LJ raised your c-bet. I probably call turn and evaluate river. He could be doing this with a lot of hands.

SB folded preflop. LJ raised my cbet.

I realized afterwards that this was a really bad flop to cbet, much worse than like 842. Probably, this is a range check for a solver.

I folded the turn. I think a shove might have been best and a call next. I later saw him raise flops a lot and keep firing, something with more than a pair but probably sometimes not. He later seemed like a decent player, although not pro style to limp/call HU much.

I thought I saw a jack when he mucked his cards, meaning maybe J9 or JT. I don't think he would limp/call JJ.

Thought I really misplayed this.

JT makes sense.

It’s not a flop I’m excited about but I might bet flop here if it’s heads up at these stakes. Is that bad? At a 1-2 game I expect players that limp/call PF to have a pretty wide range.

On the flop I think we can get calls from some ace high hands, overcards, straight draws, single pairs, and once in a while some stupid call that makes no sense because some low stakes players do that.

When villain does hit 2 pair or better, he will often let us know with a raise on flop or turn.

I probably fold the turn too. If not I would call and reevaluate on the river. Definitely not shoving when it looks like we have AA or KK and villain raised flop and bet the turn.
