Blind Defence: check or bet this turn?
 

My notes on the villain: aggressive preflop, weak post flop. This read is pretty shallow because we only played together for like 20-30 hands.
Bet this turn or try to get a free card?

Check is gOOt.

Re: Blind Defence: check or bet this turn?
 

Check the turn is good.

I'm interested in the reraise PF. I dunno if I'd do this with KJo because its so much of a trap hand. If your sure he's on a steal raise and he tries to steal with crap cards then I guess its good.

Other than that I'd probably just ditch it and let him have the fitty cent.

Re: Blind Defence: check or bet this turn?
 

Had he been aggressively stealing blinds? Checking the turn is good and i like the river bet.

Re: Blind Defence: check or bet this turn?
 

i like the turn check because you're gonna have to pay off a raise for your OESD making this an unnecessarily expensive turn.

Re: Blind Defence: check or bet this turn?
 

bet the turn. If he's paired the board on the flop you have 14 outs and you're still good. If you're ahead(ie. he's raising a draw here), you're betting for value and that's good too.

Donking here also might push a better hand out(a PP) when you bet the river as well if you had happened to miss.

I check (check with outs, blah, blah, blah)

The PF reraise makes this another one of those hands that doesn't make sense to a beginner. Sure, in later streets you're getting what appear to be odds to play--but it's only because you pot-committed yourself by being ultra-aggressive PF.

To put it another way, I see a lot of stuff here that I think beginners should avoid because their postflop skills aren't good enough to deal with the consequences. Sure goes for me. I fold this PF and move on.

Re: Blind Defence: check or bet this turn?
 

wow, you can't fold KJo here. This is a big hand heads up my man.

edited because I thought villian was in CO and this was a blind steal.

Re: Blind Defence: check or bet this turn?
 

Fold preflop.

Your OOP and 3 betting a hand that could well be dominated.

Also you said yourself that your read is only based on 20-30 hands so you dont really wanna be trying to play marginal hands OOP without decent reads.
