I would just bet around 1/3 pot on turn and probably plan to check or bet small on river. As played I think it's an easy call. could be a T or any random crap vs a fish in a $1 game.

Preflop and flop is fine but every other street is wrong. Am I missing something? This is probably the worst way to play KK. I don't get it.

Huh... What is going on here...

Flop raise is too small. I would make it at least 350.

You have to bet the turn for value. Maybe bet smaller so this way if he reraises then you have an easy fold.

I don't like the river to be honest. He's passive pre flop, but you should be looking at he's aggression post flop and how he plays a pair. Post flop Reads help here.

I personally call the river because he checked the turn, he might have only a Ten and the bet is not very big.

I really think you are only losing to sets and 109. Click the middle button next time.

What is the middle button??? He did fold...

How do you come up with a hand like T9 and a set? He called in the BB... Theres way more hands that beat us that he could have here. I just hate to fold there, but theres definitely hands that beat us coming from a passive player. I think post flop read would be very helpful.

Pretty sure the middle button is call?

I actually timed out on the hand, though I did go into the tank without realizing how low my actual time bank was, my only concern was a flush draw

With K hi flush draw i think we have a value bet no? I was thinking something like 1\3 to 1\2 the pot.

It's $1.50, why are you not value betting the turn for 1/2 pot

The flush got there on the turn vs a loose passive calling station who is more than likely to chase also if T9 & 86 got there which is not unusual at these small buy in stakes it's one of those hands either way ahead or way behind, in hindsight looking back through the hand the only real mistake I made was not putting in a bet on turn

Raise more over his donk bet to give him less odds. As played then it's fine. Board is so dirty and when loose players get aggro you have to have the nuts.
