PokerStars: Hold'em No Limit ($0.01/$0.02 USD)
BTN (130.5 bb) SB (57 bb) BB (163 bb) UTG (150 bb) EP2 (36 bb) Hero: EP3 (103 bb) MP1 (98 bb) MP2 (57 bb) CO (98.5 bb)

Preflop: Hero is EP3 with K♣ K♦
2 folds, Hero raises to 5 bb, fold, MP2 calls, fold, BTN calls, 2 folds

Flop: (16.5 bb) T♥ Q♥ 7♠
Hero bets 10 bb, MP2 folds, BTN calls

Turn: (36.5 bb) 9♥
Hero?

I found the flop sketchy already, those hearted one-gappers wete what I didn't like and then the turn felt even worse, especially since the guy called my flop bet. BTN was a TAG-like player.

What would you do?

I would go for thin value on turn with a 18bb Cbet and fold to a raise or shove.

Continue to bet for and fold to aggression, half pot is fine. V1 has 66,88, JJ, some Ax, Qx, Tx, 9x, 7x here with 1 heart here often enough for you to continue. Hope the river is a brick and go for some razor thin value.

I wanna check/call turn and decide river. KK is only a bluff catcher on turn, imo.

I wouldn't be surprised you get even some value against most villains on NL2 with a turn bet. Problem with bluff catching on NL2 that most villains aren't bluffing most of the time.
