Ok, here is another two pair hand that met some resistance.
How´s my line?
reads: villain is unknown
questions:
1. Turn bet size acceptable?
2. River fold acceptable?
PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $0.25 BB (9 handed) Poker Stars Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: 2+2 Forums)
UTG+1 ($52.20)
MP1 ($14.40)
MP2 ($28.95)
MP3 ($25.60)
Hero ($28.40)
Button ($24.65)
SB ($11.50)
BB ($21.45)
UTG ($24.50)
Preflop: Hero is CO with 5
, 8
. Hero posts a blind of $0.25.
1 fold, UTG+1 calls $0.25, 3 folds, Hero (poster) checks, 1 fold, SB completes, BB checks.
Flop: ($1) 8
, J, 5 (4 players)
SB bets $1, BB folds, UTG+1 folds, Hero raises to $4, SB calls $3.
Turn: ($9) 4
(2 players)
SB checks, Hero bets $3.25, SB calls $3.25.
I bet small because I feel like I can get it in later on most rivers, even draw-like rivers, given ratio pot/remaining effective stack, barring only the worst ones. I rather want him to stay with a Jack first and feel committed later.
River: ($15.50) J (2 players)
SB bets $4 (All-In), Hero folds.
Now this is a bad river indeed. I really don´t have to be good very often. I see, however, nothing that I beat here.
