IPoker, $0.25/$0.50 No Limit Hold'em Cash, 4 Players
Poker Tools Powered By Holdem Manager - The Ultimate Poker Software Suite.

BB: $50.25 (100.5 bb)
CO: $57 (114 bb)
Hero (BTN): $51.60 (103.2 bb)
SB: $50.75 (101.5 bb)

Preflop: Hero is BTN with K Q
CO folds, Hero raises to $1, SB folds, BB raises to $4, Hero calls $3

Flop: ($8.25) 5 5 A (2 players)
BB checks, Hero bets $5, BB calls $5

Turn: ($18.25) 2 (2 players)
BB checks, Hero bets $11.50, BB calls $11.50

River: ($41.25) 3 (2 players)
BB checks, Hero bets $31.10 and is all-in, BB calls $29.75 and is all-in

I don't think that betting once on the flop and giving up on the turn is a really good idea in general since this is the type of board villain will cbet almost always with his air, so when villain checks I think that villains range contains a lot of decent hands, such as KK/QQ/JJ/TT/99 or a weak ace. I don't expect to have much fold equity on the flop but I thought that I could put a lot of pressure to villains range since I can represent AT/AJ/AQ really well and villain doesn't have better than AT really often. My hand might be bad for doing this since I'm blocking KK/QQ. What would be your line here?

Results:

Spoiler

$100.75 pot ($2.00 rake)
Final Board: 5 5 A 2 3
BB showed A 2 and won $98.75 ($48.50 net)
Hero mucked K Q and lost (-$50.25 net)

Hi mesisification

Preflop: looks fine

Postflop: Given the turn you can simply give up but it also really depends on your image and perceived range here.

If you are an aggro player (in general) then you can't expect to have much FE here even if you go for 3 streets (and the turn and river are just terrible cards to barrel on).

So really, I'd give up on the turn on this particular card.

Do you expect that we have enough fold equity on the flop? I think that we don't get much folds on the flop since I'd expect villain to bet almost always with air. That means that villains has really often a hand like KK/QQ/JJ/TT or weak ace.

He can definitely have weak Ax here (as seen) so I agree that we can't expect to have much FE on the flop alone unless he had some junk that he is giving up with. He can also have some bigger Ax checking to allow you to barrel if you are super aggro.

It's not the greatest scenario for a multiple barrel plan unless the board runs out perfect (and you beat all non paired hands).

So I think that (assuming you are not a passive nit) not barreling here is a good plan to start with (with this hand). I'm also assuming we have no info on the guy (but since this is ipoker and guys are a bit more stationy I think that assumption can stand).
