Dealt to Hero J♠ J♦

fold, fold, UTG+2 calls $0.02, Hero raises to $0.10, fold, fold, fold, fold, UTG+2 calls $0.08

FLOP ($0.23) K♦ 4♦ K♣

UTG+2 checks, Hero bets $0.16, UTG+2 calls $0.16

TURN ($0.55) K♦ 4♦ K♣ 5♥

UTG+2 checks, Hero bets $0.28, UTG+2 calls $0.28

RIVER ($1.11) K♦ 4♦ K♣ 5♥ K♥

UTG+2 checks, Hero bets $1.46 (AI), UTG+2 folds

Hero shows J♠ J♦

Hero wins $1.06

The villain is 56/11/0.2 over only 18 hands.

After my cbet on the flop I don't think he is the kind of player who would slowplay a K, so I decide to play my hand for value and protection. Is this right?

you always bet 1/2 pot for protection? (concerning turn bet here)

Since I used to bet too big, lately I've been trying to bet a little smaller. Therefore I'm betting 55% on turn, although in this case I was a little short ($0.30 should have been).

Hello Elertar,

Why do you bet that smallish on turn? :) Bet it bigger on turn, there is a lot of value from a lot of hands. Otherwise seems to be fine.

Best regards.
