PokerStars Zoom, Hold'em No Limit - $0.08/$0.16 - 6 players
Replay this hand on Upswing Poker

UTG: $18.12 (113 bb)
MP: $18.49 (116 bb)
CO: $14.66 (92 bb)
BU: $17.04 (107 bb)
SB (Hero): $31.28 (196 bb)
BB: $23.12 (145 bb)

Pre-Flop: ($0.24) Hero is SB with K♥ J♣
4 players fold, Hero raises to $0.40, BB calls $0.24

Flop: ($0.80) 8♠ K♣ Q♦ (2 players)
Hero bets $0.25, BB calls $0.25

Turn: ($1.30) 2♥ (2 players)
Hero checks, BB checks

River: ($1.30) J♦ (2 players)
Hero bets $0.67, BB raises to $3.68, SB (Hero) folds

I thought my hand was ok as a check back on the turn blocking some of his Qx/JT etc that might continue.

Not sure on river?

I prefer just to keep betting turn. Some of his 2p raise flop so you have very clear value bet.

AP- River sizing is too small. Ranges are very wide and you are only beaten by some AT combos. Vs raise it's quite annoying ppl dont bluff raise too much in this spot but maybe your hand is just too strong to fold.

How do you check back ott when you are oop? Just keep betting ott you will get so many calls on that card.. River looks like villain makes the straight.

I thought it was less likely he could call a turn bet as I blocked QJ and JT but yeah I agree now I should bet the turn
