Made straight on paired flush board... this makes it sound like a very easy fold.

$0.05/$0.1 No-Limit Hold'em (8 handed)

Known players:
BB = ($10.15)
UTG2 = ($14.68)
MP1 = ($13.42) 15/15/2.5/35 hands
MP2 = ($6.48)
MP3 (Hero) = ($9.15)
CO = ($28.81)
BU = ($4.00)
SB = ($3.37)

Preflop: Hero is MP3 with K :heart:, Q :diamond:.
MP2 posts deadblind, UTG2 folds, MP1 raises to $0.30, MP2 folds, Hero calls $0.30, 4 folds, 3 folds, 2 folds, BB folds.

Flop: ($0.9) J :club:, T :diamond:, 4 :club: (2 players)
MP1 bets $0.30, Hero raises to $1.00, MP1 calls $0.70.

Turn: ($2.9) A :club: (2 players)
MP1 checks, Hero bets $1.40, MP1 raises to $2.90, Hero calls $1.50.

River: ($8.7) A :diamond: (2 players)
MP1 bets $9.22, Hero folds, MP1 gets uncalled bet back.

Final Pot: $8.7.

Now, I evaluated this hand myself and I know, or at least I think I know where I made mistakes, I counted one big mistake and two smaller ones, but I would like to hear from others what they think. This was during a quite tilty...well, not really tilted but frustrating session, which is probably kind of the same thing, just milder. :f_grin:

I should be posting some more hands on here, as I've been on a break even stretch over 10k hands (which is apparently normal, or at least not that bad, but I'd like to move on now).

Thanks for your time in advance.

Hello,

I would fold this preflop or 3bet - flatting KQo against a tight-looking MP raiser is bad here as our hand is dominated and doesn't play good postflop.

Flop raise is borderline, as we don't often make him fold better hands, so I think we could just call IP as well.

I would bet bigger on the turn - when he raises I would be inclined to fold here as I don't think he is raising two pair here often.

River fold is good because now we don't beat anything.

Best,
Plamen
