Hi,

I raised TT preflop and I got 1 caller.
At flop I had an overpair TT and I made a pot size raise because I was afraid of T+ card on the turn.
Villain called and there was K. I played defensively from there on.

What do you think? did I play this hand properly?
Thanks

Hi,

Pre-flop is fine.

On flop I'd just go for that 2/3 bet. If you bet pot you are practically telling that you have a hand and you lose more in case he becomes aggressive. Betting smaller keeps his range wider.

As played, K hits somehow his callling range on flop, so I think you could ch/call. When he ch turn and river is blank you should bet like 1/2 pot or so for value, he could still have some worse pp and perhaps hands like 78s, A7s and stuff.

Hey.
Isn't the pot 0.18 on the flop? So it's not a pot sized bet. I like the sizing for NL2 we wanna value bet relentlessley. I would bet small on the king, probably 1/3 pot, he may have a stubborn pair or Gs willing to call for a small price. any larger bet would isolate us against his floats that hit the king or his slow played monsters. Then you can safely check back the river and fold if villain leads. As played, you just have a bluff catcher. Given that the king is an excellent scare card you have to ask yourself if villain is capable of bluffing on a scare card. If so then consider calling. But if you'd bet the turn small then you wouldn't have this decision :)
