Hi all!
Here is another blind battle.
Unknown BB donks into me.

Known players:
[tg]Position_Stack:hands/vp$ip/RaisePreflop/AF/WTS/ORL/BBvsSteal/W$SD;BB$30:09/78/22/1.0/17/100/-/0;Hero$23.15:///////;[/tg]
0.5/1 Fixed-Limit Hold'em (6 handed)
Hand recorder used for this poker hand: Elephant.Base 0.98 by www.pokerstrategy.com.

Preflop: Hero is MP2 with K♣, Q♠
Hero raises, 4 folds, BB calls.

Flop: (4.50 SB) 9♦, 4♣, 2♥ (2 players)
BB bets, Hero calls.

Do I raise here to gain initiative & bet Turn? I believe that there are 9s in BB' defence range so he might have hit...
My decision was to call and re-evaluate the turn.

Turn: (3.25 BB) A♥ (2 players)
BB checks, Hero checks.

The check from BB is suspicious. There are many aces in his defence range but I would expect him to raise them preflop.
I think that bet/fold here is the best option.

River: (3.25 BB) T♠ (2 players)
BB bets, Hero calls.

I checked on the Turn which I think was a mistake and now I am facing a bet on the river. I don't know why I even called here=(

Final Pot: 5.25 BB

Hi!

Calling flop is correct and I totally dont like a raise here. Your hand has too much SD value in the first place and also you dont want him to 3bet as he is unknown...calling and reevaluate turn is correct

This turn I would definatelly call again. On such a card his range gets very polorised between air and good hands and KQ beats all air. When he checks I see him very SDbound and will play c/c most of the time. Its not a mistake to b/f for freeSD but I would preffer to check behind and call some rivers.

This river I would go and fold as its quite bad and also I put him on made hand anyway when he checks turn.
