0,1/0,25 No-Limit Hold'em (9 handed)
Hand recorder used for this poker hand: PokerStrategy Elephant 0.50 by www.pokerstrategy.com.

Preflop: Hero is BB with T♦, K♣
7 folds, SB calls $0,15, Hero raises to $0,75, SB calls $0,50.

Flop: ($1,50) 2♥, K♥, 3♠ (2 players)
SB bets $1,50, Hero raises to $4,25 (All-In), SB calls $2,75.

Turn: ($10,00) Q♥

I know this is not a true made hand, but I think TPMK should be enough in HU when fighting for blinds....

if you raise his complete, do it 4 BB, since he got 2:1 to call and if you hit TP on a drawheavyboard you go broke for sure

Not the normal 5BB?
I'm not sure if I would go broke when Villain makes a potsized donkbet on the flop here. Folding probably is a lot cheaper in most cases :)

On NL25 3BB bets work just fine for me, specially because I steal very loose, and I would hardly imagine higher FE with additional BB than I already have. Villains really fold a lot even with 2:1 odds.

The other thing is I think potsized bet is pretty standard on a drawy board and I don't think it should represent anything special here, so I think TP should be just fine.

Totally agree with 3BB raise in "SB open completes" situation. The reasons are obvious. On micro limits players do it fairly often, so I believe we can get more value by stealing smaller, but with wider range. If you raise 5BB, you are committing yourself, so your range should be obviously tighter.
