Hand converted with online PokerStrategy.com hand converter:

A regular hand before the river. On the flop, I don't see what I beat but Kx. There isn't so many draws. I cbet quite low.
On the turn, I don't like much the 9 but I don't wanna loose the initiative and bet for free river.
The Q on the river is awfull and I'm seriously considering folding. On the other hand, I've TPTK and the bet is 1/3 of the pot.

What do you think about the size on the flop and would you call on the river?

Play hand

$0.01/$0.02 No-Limit Hold'em (7 handed)

Known players:
[tg]BU$2.60:///////;SB$3.78:///////;BB$1.69:///////;MP1$2.00:///////;MP2$0.57:///////;MP3 (Hero)$2.53:///////;CO$2.17:///////;[/tg]

Preflop: Hero is MP3 with A:s, K:d.
MP1 calls $0.02, MP2 calls $0.02, Hero raises to $0.12, 3 folds, BB calls $0.10, 2 folds, MP2 folds.

Flop: ($0.29) T:s, K:h, 4:d (2 players)
BB checks, Hero bets $0.18, BB calls $0.18.

Turn: ($0.65) 9:d (2 players)
BB checks, Hero bets $0.44, BB calls $0.44.

River: ($1.53) Q:h (2 players)
BB bets $0.48, hero???

Final Pot: $2.49.

Hey Franck

There is no way I'm calling on the river. Every J beats you, there are sets, 2 pairs... It's an easy fold imo.

I'd bet flop+turn bigger as well.

This is a close spot actually since we only have to be good 1 in 4 times (25% equity with TPTK).

Depending on the opponent, I may call or fold.

If it's a passive fish who is betting all of a sudden I fold. If it's against a reg, it looks like a blockbet which indicates a relatively weak (not nuts) holding. I actually see enough Tx hands in villains range to call because he merely check/calls both streets and the turn still had Tx as second pair.

The more I consider, the more I think a call is in order here.

Also to Rastweet, I think a set will check/raise the turn here more often than not. Same with two pair. They should want to protect it vs straight draws.

Villain is a perfect donkey. He donkey-shoved a quite scary river with air. I called with a middle three of a kind.

Hello EinsteinFranck,

You have to Bet the flop & turn bigger, we want to protect our hand and get value from worse. But otherwise fold the river, not many have what you have beat. :)

Best Regards.
