I wasn't sure about this one. Might have played it to passive? All villains Kx got there. Villain also has better 2 pair now. Should I have raised flop?

GG Poker - $0.02 NL (6 max) - Holdem - 4 players
Hand converted by Holdem Manager 3

BTN: $1.35 (67.5 bb)
SB: $2.57 (128.5 bb)
Hero (BB): $2.32 (116 bb)
CO: $1.93 (96.5 bb)

SB posts $0.01, Hero posts BB $0.02

Pre Flop: (pot: $0.03) Hero has T♠: J♠:
CO raises to $0.05, 2 folds, Hero calls $0.03

Flop: ($0.11, 2 players) T♣: Q♥: J♣:
Hero checks, CO bets $0.06, Hero calls $0.06

Turn: ($0.23, 2 players) 4♣:
Hero checks, CO bets $0.12, Hero calls $0.12

River: ($0.47, 2 players) A♥:
Hero checks, CO bets $0.47, Hero?

Again, I'm in favour of x/r the flop. I'm no expert though...

Raising flop seems reasonable. Offcourse you need to prepare to fold if villain would 3bet on you.

If we fold vs a 3B then we should just call... No need to fold that equity.

Villain is betting nearly half pot on flop on such a drawy texture, so we can raise right there.
As played, what do expect to see on this run out on the river? Both draws got there and we do not have such a strong hand.

So you are going to play for stacks if villain 3bets the flop?

If we are not ready to play for stacks, then we should just call flop...

This comment is a variation of "If you're going to get in all in on the river, get it on the flop"
I'm not sure I want to play for stacks on such a board. If as I suggested to check/raise the flop, we're announcing our intention to get it in, but I'm not sure I want to jam the flop, so I bow to nitrol's intuition. But now, the river is a fold.

If we raise and V calls then we will be in tricky spot on a lot of turn cards. If we choose to stack off we are coin flipping at best.

Calling here seems more prefereble choice to keep V's range as wide as possible. Our hand is a decent bluffcatcher as well.

As played i will fold this river. We beat only pure bluff here.

We should be playing this flop very passively with our range as it heavily favours uncapped range. We don't have AK or any set in our range and villain has all of them.

So we should not be thrilled to bloat the pot with bottom two pair and if we do we further weaken our x-c range.
