PokerStars - $0.02 NL (6 max) - Holdem - 6 players
Hand converted by PokerTracker 4

UTG: 110 BB
Hero (MP): 117.5 BB
CO: 103.5 BB
BTN: 179.5 BB
SB: 164 BB
BB: 277 BB

SB posts SB 0.5 BB, BB posts BB 1 BB

Pre Flop: (pot: 1.5 BB) Hero has K♦ Q♦

UTG raises to 3 BB, Hero calls 3 BB, fold, fold, fold, fold

Flop: (7.5 BB, 2 players) 5♦ 4♦ 3♣
UTG bets 5.5 BB, Hero calls 5.5 BB

Turn: (18.5 BB, 2 players) 9♥
UTG bets 13.5 BB, Hero calls 13.5 BB

River: (45.5 BB, 2 players) 6♦
UTG checks, Hero bets 21 BB, UTG calls 21 BB

Q1: Calling Flop is standard, I think. Is raising an option, or are we scaring away hands like KJ(etc.)?
Q2: Turn call is bad, right? I do not get the odds, even if I have a live K, right?
Q3: How big does the Bet OTR has to be to legitimize the Turn call?

Q1: Yes a call would be very good here.
Q2: I would call here too.. Overcards with flushdraw (its on line call/fold with betsize??)
Q3: I would bet larger here 80-90% potsize.

For me this is a fold preflop.
I think the call OTF is good. Raise is probably not a mistake.
If you give yourself 19.6% for the FD you have to make 23bb on the river on average to be break even.

Pot odds if pot was 23 bb larger: 13.5 / (13.5 + 13.5 + 18.5 + 23) ~ 19.7%

Too good to fold pre I think.
I usually bet 2/3 pot for these -- but that is more because I have a 2/3 pot button that for any legit poker reason :coolface:
