No useful reads -- fast-fold at a limit I rarely play
I often get folds with the delayed CBet, but not this time...

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

BTN: $10.94
SB: $6.18
BB: $5.00
Hero (UTG): $6.27
MP: $10.00
CO: $5.00

SB posts SB $0.02, BB posts BB $0.05

Pre Flop: (pot: $0.07) Hero has A♣:J♣:

Hero raises to $0.11, fold, fold, fold, fold, BB calls $0.06

Flop: ($0.24, 2 players) 9♠:K♠:3♣:
BB checks, Hero checks

Turn: ($0.24, 2 players) 5♦:
BB checks, Hero bets $0.12, BB calls $0.12

River: ($0.48, 2 players) 4♦:
BB checks, Hero ???

After the check on the flop it's tough to represent a decent hand, because turn and river are basicly blanks on this board. If you bet the river you let villain only fold missed draws I think. Most of them you already beat.

I'd cbet flop, because your Kx hands make a larger part of your range compared to BB, and you have the BD nut FD.

I prefer a cbet on the flop and if a club or any other card that helps make a str8 to barrel the turn.

Or just give up if you don’t inprove

I almost cbet 100% if i'm the agreessor preflop on boards like : Axx, Kxx, Qxx and Jxx.
He checked on every street so if you stab the Turn i think you need to fire a second barrell on the river to make him fold 2nd pair or a low kicker K

Can't we simply check behind turn? AJ high has a lot of showdown value BB Vs BU.

If we expect villain will exploit our double check range, we can put our weakest Kx at some frequency and our pairs like QQ-JJ in our double check range to call a river bet if opponent try to bet river with too much air.
