I like leading here for about 1/2 pot and folding to further aggression. If he calls, I probably take a similar action on the river, but maybe making it 1/4-1/3 pot size.

Check-calling down isn't a terrible action, but if the guy decides to go nuts on the bet sizes with his KJ/KT, you would probably have to fold the best hand, plus you don't know where you stand. If he raises you on the turn after leading twice, he can beat TPTK almost all the time.

I have $15 left- so you lead for $10 and fold for $5 more?

Sorry, as you've probably figured out I didn't study the stack sizes too well...for some reason I was thinking this was .25/.50. This is a tough spot without reads. Folding at any point after you called the flop raise is going to be tough considering you only have 3/4 the pot left and almost half your stack in. Now I'm thinking I shouldn't of responded to the post since I don't know what to do...haha, but I'm going to go with check-raise all-in, reload...it's too hard for me to fold this hand with almost half my stack in the middle.

yuck the power of the minraise. I don't think he does this with Kj or QJ but I haven't played 25NL 6m much. If you weren't going to stack off the place to fold was to that minraise. If you think you're good here I c/r AI, otherwise c/f.

Your decision point is the flop raise. It's either push or fold. Make your read and go with it. I think calling without a plan to get it in on the turn is the only bad move you can make.

Ok, thanks. I open-pushed the turn (probobly a bad move?) and villan insta-folded. Thanks for replies.

I thought for sure you were busted this hand by JTo.

Anyways, push the flop.

That pot got big fast.. Yeah 3bet flop allin is probably best move, but stop and go is ok too I guess, not too many cards that change anything

I can't believe nobody has said that he needs to raise more preflop. about $4, try to take the pot down right here and piss off those limpers who think they can see flops cheaply, playing OOP sucks with a drawing hand. This will also in turn make playing the hand on later streets much easier, now you're going to bet about $6-$8 on the flop and when he raises you you have a pretty easy push.
