Here's a Hand I Played Today. Wondering if there was anything I could have done differently.
.02/.05 5NL Cash (online)
H BB 100BBs (eff. Stack)
V UG 150BBs
PF:
UG OR 2BB
Folds to
H JsTs Call 1BB
Flop: (Pot 4.4BBs)
TcJh9c
H checks
UG bets 2.2BBs
H raises to 6.4BBs
V Calls
Turn: (Pot 17.2BBs)
H checks
UG shoves 120BBs
H folds
H has about 30% v AA-QQ, TT-99, AKs-A9s, KQs-KTs, QJs-QTs, JTs, T9s, 98s, 87s, AKo-AJo, KQo (V’s H re-raise calling range)?
H needs to commit app. 92.5BBs to win 107.5BBs, 1.2/1 Pot Odds, Break Even 46%?
Thanks.

Larger check-raise on the flop. You didn't list what the turn card was; we need to know that.

Definitely need to raise much larger you gave him a great price on any draws and it seems he could have got there as played on the turn which we need to know what card btw.

Sorry about that. I thought I had included it, (a bit dyslexic.) Kc

And thanks! I thought maybe that was the answer: going bigger on check raise. Lots to learn. Much appreciated.

Kc is probably the worst card in the deck for your hand. There’s not much you can do here.
Most of the time you’re behind, drawing to max 4 outs and maybe the Q for a split. And even if you’re ahead, he might have 17 outs.
And as you’ve said, you need 46% equity which means you need to win the pot almost half of the time. That’s extremely hard to imagine.
