KJ (J297Q). Re-raised on the flop. Should I fold the turn?

[ffredd]

I've been playing low limit hold'em more than a year now, but I've never been able to get very good results. I'm winning, but results better than 1 BB/100 over more than 20K hands are very rare for me. My "high score" is 1.5 BB/100 over 20K hands, but that was 2/4 limit. I have played 70K hands of 5/10 but I was barely able to break even.

I'm obviously still doing a lot of things wrong, so I have decided to play 2/4 until I'm able to get better results. I will also post some of my hands here. I'm sure some of you will find some of these hands "boring and standard", but I will post them anyway because I think it might help me figure out what I'm doing wrong.

This is the first hand I'd like to discuss. It's more "boring and standard" than most hands I'll post, but it seems like a good place to start. I think I should have folded on the turn. What do you think?

Since I didn't fold the turn, should I now fold the river? I mean, I can't beat anything but a bluff and JTs, unless of course this is the kind of guy who limps with hands like J3 and goes crazy when he hits top pair. At the time I didn't know anything about my opponent.

Don't fold anywhere. The Q on the river blows for you, but you have a good hand that should win a showdown 1 in 7.5 times. The information EV here is also good (revealing part of the range with which he bet-3bets the flop).

This is why I stopped limping KJo in EP.

this is a classic example of 2nd best.

as the hand played out, I'd call down with out a read
