CO: $105.55
Hero: $50.75
SB: $73.95
Villain (BB): $53.95
UTG: $60.60
MP: $18.25

Pre Flop: Hero is BUTTON with K

3 folds, Hero raises to $1.75, 1 fold, Villain calls $1.25

Flop: ($3.75) T

(2 players)
Villain checks, Hero bets $2.50, Villain raises to $7.50, Hero calls $5

Turn: ($18.75) J

(2 players)
Villain bets $11, Hero ???

What is the best way to proceed here. Call? Raise? What happens if we call and he shoves river?

If villain hasn't been too active, I don't mind folding the flop. Do we have reads (i.e is a worse J part of his CC range preflop?)

Board is actually not that wet other than the FD which he doesn't have too often so I probably call and reevaluate on the river

without reads, this is a fist pump shove

My God. At the very least if you have no stats or reads then say so. This is completely different vs. a 40/30/10 rather than a 11/7/1.3 or something.

Think about the hands villian would c/r with on the flop. Then think about which of those hands will call a push from us. The turn isn't as good as it first appears, except for giving us a few outs against 77/TT/98/JT. It also reduces the number of QJ/J9 combos he might have (it does make him more likely to call a push than he would have been w/just TPWK, though).
