Unusual hand with a preflop question.

Absolute low limit. 5-handed.

Hero is Button with KJo.

UTG calls, MP calls, Hero raises, SB calls, BB (has 3-bet me light before) 3-bets, UTG caps, MP folds, Hero calls (mistake?)

Flop: 7 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 8 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 2 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]

Checked through!

Turn: J [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]

Checked to Hero, Hero bets, BB calls, UTG folds, MP calls.

River: 5 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]

Checked to Hero. Easy value bet, yeah?

I really dont see why not. I can't imagine he would play like this with a better K or AA.

Yeah, easy value bet.

I don't know about preflop. Depends on how good UTG is and if he's doing that with anything but a monster. I'm leaning towards folding.

I fold preflop after the 3bet and cap. What happened to SB? He called your raise but then disappears.

I like everything postflop though and yes I'm value betting on river.

Oh yeah, I screwed it up. Replace MP with SB on the turn. MP limp/folded preflop. I know he's not in the right position, but it doesn't matter.

My thinking was that BB has 3-bet me a ton in the past and probably doesn't have me dominated. And the limp/cap from UTG is often a baby pair rather than a monster.

Anyway, I think it's close with all those bets in the pot and some LAGs in the hand. But I'm definitely not sure I made the right move.
