Default Re: KTo, Blind on blind

I really don't like the turn raise because:

1. Villain is unlikely to fold any pair here in a heads-up pot.

2. You will sometimes get three-bet by two pairs, sets, QJ, whatever, and you still have many live outs. (Remember: play the turn lightly with lots of outs because getting raised really really sucks).

3. Your hand simply does not have enough showdown value.

Play straightforwardly here. It's the best way to go:

Call the flop check-raise. Call the turn. Raise the river if you hit a straight and probably a K. Fold everything else except a T with the right read.
