1st hand at new table - no reads

My thought on the flop raise was to try and knock out the button. Not sure if I played this one right.

Fold the flop. Pot's small and you're likely to be behind. Avoid trying to get clever in this situation, especially readless.

I think there's an argument for betting the river. Though I'm unsure whether villain will fold any better hands, or call often enough with a worse hand. I'm leaning toward bet/fold as villain's line strongly suggests he holds a K without a club, and I think he'll pay you off enough times with this. Plus there's a slight possibility you will fold a better hand.

Don't post in MP2. Since you did, raise preflop.

1/2 goes in micros. No big deal. /images/graemlins/smile.gif

Don't post in MP2; if you can't post in the CO, wait for the BB.

You can probably fold the flop; yes, there's a chance that BB is betting out with a weaker hand and/or flush draw, but is that going to be the case the around 50% of the time you'd need it to be to justify a raise in this tiny pot? You have to have a pretty firm read on BB as a LAGtard in order to make a raise correct here.

Given your flop action, I play the turn &amp; river the same.

Don't include results in your initial post--it can skew the advice you get. I didn't look at them until after typing this out, FWIW.
