Preflop and flop I'd play like you.

On the turn your bet makes no sense. It probably wont get anyone out of the pot and there's no value betting there either, because you're only going to hit your outs like 33% of the times. I'd check/call here and try to see a cheap river card to see if I hit my draw.

UTG+1 was probably chasing a SD or a FD which didnt hit, so betting here is fine imo.


the turn bet was an intent to see if i get raised, and to prevent a higher bet from villains.

edit: i guess this only works well against poor players

Ah yea a blocking bet. I dont think it's any good doing it on the turn though, if you want to see a cheap showdown you should bet higher so atleast you get some fold equity. check/calling here could be dangerous here though, if he betted like the value of the pot you'd be commited and you'd have to put all your stack.

Let's see what pros have to say ^^


out of position I would fold preflop and if you gonna play con the flop

Hi all, here we should definitely fold preflop.

On the flop, your line looks OK but of course we can also cbet.

On the turn I would play check/call with my overcard + flushdraw outs.

On the river as played, I would check behind, because often K high has the best hand here, and there's obviously no value in betting if villain indeed has a missed straight draw, etc.
