$5.05 pot ($0.33 rake)
Final Board: J 5 T 9 4
BB showed T 7 and lost (-$2.50 net)
Hero mucked J J and won $4.72 ($2.22 net)

I r small on this flop because I can get value later if he has sth.

T is probably the worst card so I wasn't sure what to do. Should have raised probably to $2. If he re-raised me back I would be like fuck me, but with only calling here I give him nice chance to hit his backdoor with overcards.

R flop to $0,95.
R T to $1,90?
Call R donk (small)? If checked to me bet 1/3 for value?

Hello,

I would usually raise a little bit more on the flop to build up the pot better.

I think that raising the turn will be better - we do have a top set, also we have a redraw, so raising to something like $1.6-$1.7 will be fine.

As played, the river is quite tricky, as we only beat some bluffs (which I don't think he'd play this way) or an overplayed flush which are not much combos.
Anyways, we only need to be good 1 out of 5 times, so calling here would be fine and making a note.
If he checks I would bet around 1/3 pot myself.

Best,
Plamen
