KJs: Opening up play, sub-optimal or bad play

Hey MoneyDearest,

I would raise potsized on the Flop so you can get it in on the Turn if I am correct. You have to fastplay this hand and therefore you have to go all-in as soon as possible.

You give him way too good odds on the Flop with this raise

Best regards,
Gerv

When you say fastplay, you mean I should try to take it down / protect my hand?

I was thinking that this two pair was strong enough, that I should bet big enough to get some money in the pot, but small enough so that he wouldn't fold, or even go all in himself if he has something like AK.

Are you saying that you have better chance to get all the money in if you bet harder but sooner?

Cheers,

Money.

You just have to raise bigger to get all-in on the TUrn. That's the fastest way to get all-in. If he folds, that's fine because he was bluffing all day long. What you do NOT want is giving away odds to draws. He is bet/calling anyway with those draws on the Flop for sure so why not make it bigger if you know that

Best regards,
