$0.10 NL (6 max) - Holdem - 6 players

Hero (BB): $11.08 (110.8 bb)
UTG: $10.00 (100 bb)
MP: $15.17 (151.7 bb)
CO: $12.03 (120.3 bb)
BTN: $10.00 (100 bb)
SB: $52.47 (524.7 bb)

Pre Flop: (pot: $0.15) Hero has 6♦ 5♦
2 folds, CO raises to $0.25, 2 folds, Hero calls $0.15

Flop: ($0.55, 2 players) 4♠ 9♣ 7♥
Hero checks, CO bets $0.18, Hero raises to $0.72, CO calls $0.54

Turn: ($1.99, 2 players) K♠
Hero bets $1.44, CO calls $1.44

River: ($4.87, 2 players) A♠
Hero checks, CO checks

Information on the opponent:

Hands:1500
Stats:18/17
CO RFI: 23% (35/154 Hands)
Flop Cbet: 56% (44/81 Hands)

Flop: I wonder if the check-raise here is really profitable against the opponent, or profitable at all, since there are no diamonds for backdoor flush draws.

Turn: I don't think that was particularly good in hindsight. Just my thought was why flop check raise and check turn again.

Hi!

U picked a good spot with a really bad combo to xr.

Just think about it: not even no backdoor FD but when u hit u can get into big trouble/drawing dead vs JT.

We have a ton of better combos to pick. i try to line them from best to worst: T8, JT, J8, 86.

Obviously we do not have all 16 combos of each, some only suited, some 3b preflop. And having backdoor FD is also plus as u mentioned.

I would most likely just call the flop with 8 outs for a straight. If villain is tight post-flop I don't think a bluff will work that well and you want to keep the pot small out of position I think.

Cheers,
