PokerStars - $0.05 NL FAST (6 max) - Holdem - 6 players
Hand converted by PokerTracker 4

Hero (BTN): 104.6 BB
SB: 106.4 BB
BB: 220.4 BB
UTG: 193.4 BB
MP: 140.4 BB
CO: 39 BB

SB posts SB 0.4 BB, BB posts BB 1 BB

Pre Flop: (pot: 1.4 BB) Hero has K♣ A♠

fold, fold, fold, Hero raises to 2.4 BB, fold, BB calls 1.4 BB

Flop: (5.2 BB, 2 players) T♦ T♥ 9♠
BB checks, Hero bets 3.2 BB, fold

Hero wins 5 BB

This is similar to AJ hand I posted. Still I do not like cbet very much. But the one guy said its almost for value, because weaker hands can call.

I am not sure, cause we are risking of being chekc raised also. And we can get value on later streets.

Good thing is that we fold some hands which have 22 % equity and low PPs. Actually strong PPs might not even fold, like 88 to one cbet.

And if we do not cbet, we have ok bluffcatcher for one street.

Standard cbet imo. I think this is pretty standard valuebet. We have good equity against villains defending range, we have good fold equity, and if we don't bet and hit A or K on later streets it will be difficult to get value.

This got me puzzled.
Why did u cbet this hand and not the other?
I think the cbet has a place for the reasons I mentioned in AJ case (same aplies here).

Nothing better is folding and there are hands with much equity that will call.

We can check, but then we need a solid game plan. Easier is to bet. Our range hit that board pretty damned hard and he can easily fold 22 through 88. This prevents him as well from getting up to 6 outs for free.

Not saying c-betting is best, but it is way easiest to implement in the game plan.

becuase AK is stronger :) I did not want to call turn and bluffcatch so I decided to fold his equity here :) cause folding AK on turn to a bet looks weak, but folding AJ - less weak :)

Both cases we have good overcards, a board that is not that wet + position.
I think in general neither ur equity or the results of ur cbet ll change much when comparing these two spots.
