A4d

[The Truth]

10-20 NL 10 handed.

I have 2100, villain has about 2400.

I have Ad4d folded to me in the hijack. I make it 70. folded to Sb who makes it 120. bb folds. I call.

Flop: Kd Ks 2d
sb bets 100. I call.

Turn: 9h
sb bets 120. I raise it to 820.


what ya think so far?

Unless your opponent is leaking tremendous amounts of information with his flop/turn actions on this board, I think a call has a greater expectation on the turn than a semi-bluff raise (look at the pot odds he's offering).

Any reads or PT stats on this guy? Have you been stealing a lot?

The weak reraise preflop would concern me, unless this guy is a donkey.

Flop OK, calling makes you able to represent the king.
Turn, don't like the overbet, bet closer to the pot. It seems your goal here is to scare him off with king representation, and draw to a flush if this doesnt work. Raising to pot seems stronger than the overbet (IMO), achieves the same semi-bluff effect and leaves you more fold equity if he reraises all in.

820 looks little strange to me (its big) but I like the play. Its very difficult for Villain to call this without K cause he knows that you will bet again on the river.
I think its standard good play (I mean standard would be a little smaller bet at least for me).

Best wishes

Hero raised pot.

I know you feel like you need to bet that, but I think a donk player like the one who minreraises OOP would call you down with QQ AA and would also slowplay AK. I dont think you have alot of fold equity. If he calls, I shutdown on river.

Was this live or online? And what do you know about the villian?
