Play hand

$0.01/$0.02 No-Limit Hold'em (7 handed)

Known players:
[tg]CO$2.44:///////;BU (Hero)$2.25:///////;SB$1.98:///////;BB$0.80:///////;MP1$1.72:///////;MP2$3.02:///////;MP3$2.28:///////;[/tg]

Preflop: Hero is BU with K:d, Q:s.
2 folds, MP3 calls $0.02, CO folds, Hero raises to $0.10, 2 folds, MP3 calls $0.08.

Flop: ($0.23) 5:d, 4:d, K:c (2 players)

River: ($1.63) Q:d (2 players)
MP3 checks, Hero bets $0.80, MP3 calls $0.80.

Final Pot: $3.23.
Results follow:

Spoiler

Hero shows a flush, king high(K:d Q:s).
MP3 shows two pairs, kings and fours(4:h K:h).

Hero wins with a flush, king high(K:d Q:s).

A small sample on opponent: 51/0/3.4/29/41 [VPIP/PRF/AF/WSD/Hands]

Flop: My top pair got hard reaction from my opponent, Check/Raise. I realized his Raise is quite small, but cannot be underestimate here. Perharps he's hit a set with 55, 44 or two pairs with K4, K5 (his range is quite wider) here. Though my hand's Equity is very small to beat his hand (as I assumed), but I still called his Raise, because his Raise is small, I've got a top pair with medium kicker, and maybe back-door FD.

Turn: He shows his aggression. I have nothing more than implied pot odds, and hope Turn card will complete my FD.

I realized that I made mistake on Flop when he was Check/Raise like that, but is that profitable to call his small Raise with those what I have with my hand (TP with medium kicker, a backdoor FD)?

Hello anhvusa,

I'd ask you why do you in first place CB so smallish? You have a leak most likely there. :( You should CB ~$0,18 at least. Although as played overall seems to be fine. But obviously should fix your bet sizing.

Best Regards.
