Dunno, I think I've played this hand really bad. Maybe check/raise OTT? OTR I have no idea.

Should definitely bet the flop. Calling river.

I think your raise pre flop is too small given your position. Raise a bit bigger. You can also get away with raising bigger if the blinds are fish as they will still call (I think the SB is a fish?). I kinda like 4x or 5x at NL2 in this sort of spot.

I'd cbet flop looking to get value out of Kx. Most likely cbet turn also but fold to a raise. (The majority of NL2 players aren't raising you on the turn with Kx there. Would also depend if it was still multi-way by the turn).

AP, you can get away with folding here. You don't need to stack off in spots you aren't sure about. Stack off in spots you are. (You can get away with this sort of passive mentality in NL2 and still maintain a high win rate). Of course there will be a raft of comments explaining why you should call and I'm going to sound like a plonker lol

FWIW I play 2nl full-ring game at Pokerstars....

Bigger preflop raise around 6-8 cents.
Certainly should have bet the flop. I would have bet 1/3-50% the pot.
I'm also raising the turn. 1/3-50% the pot.
After all that if he's all-in after the river probably a fold.....I'd consider calling and likely call if he was a guy with a VPIP 70%+ and a low showdown win %. Guys with VPIP of 70%+ and low showdown win % go all-in bluffing with any 2 cards they simply don't care, can have anything at any point and are just terrible. Right or wrong I consider such calls variance as in my opinion I have no choice but to make the call against guys playing 70%+ of the hands. Specially in my experience when they can have and play any two cards and be all-in even with nothing hoping for the fold.


Cheers!!!
