Is it ok to float flop here? I called because i though that K high could be the best hands and its a hard board to hit so i could maybe steal the pot. Then on the turn was it a good move to donk AI? I mean if i ch and villain fires i pretty much have to call anyways...

SB: 13.13 BB (VPIP: 66.67, PFR: 44.44, 3Bet Preflop: 0.00, Hands: 10)
Hero (BB): 11.88 BB

SB posts SB 0.5 BB, Hero posts BB 1 BB

Pre Flop: (pot: 1.5 BB) Hero has K 3

SB raises to 2 BB, Hero calls 1 BB

Flop: (4 BB, 2 players) J 2 4
Hero checks, SB bets 2 BB, Hero calls 2 BB

Turn: (8 BB, 2 players) 9
Hero bets 7.88 BB and is all-in

- preflop depending on reads you may want to go all in (if playing someone who 1BB raise opens every button).
- flop I would check/fold; I do not like to check raise flops at these blinds and I do not like to donk in general;
- turn is very weak imho (what could a 9 improve ?) and I assume you will get called by any J,9, 1010+ pp, SD or FD. If you want to bluff do it on the dry flop, do not let him a free card and bluff a turn that could not improve anything. Also a 9 often gives him more draws.

Fair enough

This is actually a really cool hand, made me think a ton and i'm still not sure what's best here.

Preflop flatting is going to be best almost always, so that's fine.

Flop is kinda close to a fold, but with our backdoor equity and given standard minraise ranges at this depth and cbetting ranges flatting should be a touch better. Some room to explore x/raising (both non allin and allin) but readless I don't think it would be good, still it can have some merit.

Turn is also close, personally I like your shove. We should be able to fold out a decent amount of equity share, and the alternative is x/f which is rather gross if your opponent ever bluff shoves there which is definitely possible. Still, discussing it I think there is a good argument for x/f turn and being open to bluff shoving rivers in some spots anyways to fold out A hi.

Overall a cool hand, thanks for posting it I'd play it the same I think, but well worth exploring our options.
