SB: $10.83 (108.3 bb)
BB: $10 (100 bb)
MP: $26.57 (265.7 bb)
Hero (CO): $32.35 (323.5 bb)
BTN: $9.84 (98.4 bb)

Preflop: Hero is CO with K 8
MP raises to $0.40, Hero raises to $1.35, 3 folds, MP calls $0.95

Villain is 31/23, 3 bet 11%, fold to 3 bet only 13%. Doesn't fold much to cbets either.

Flop: ($2.85) 5 J K (2 players)
MP checks, Hero checks

I thought I'm mostly ahead but I didn't wanted to get c/rd by a good draw + if he have a king, he got better kicker. I also wanted to keep pot small to avoid hard decision with all the possible scare cards.

Turn: ($2.85) A (2 players)
MP bets $2.85, Hero calls $2.85

Ace is a bad card, but his agression% on turn and river is 50% over decent sample, so I guess he will be betting with any hit or decent spade. Efficiently I'm just bluff catching after checking the flop.

River: ($8.55) 9 (2 players)
MP bets $3.90, Hero calls $3.90

Not much here.

1) Would it have been better to bet flop?
2) What about turn? Am I in any shape to bluffcatch here?

Results:

Spoiler

$16.35 pot ($0.81 rake)
Final Board: 5 J K A 9
MP showed Q T and won $15.54 ($7.44 net)
Hero mucked K 8 and lost (-$8.10 net)

Hello,

So when this guy only folds to 13% of the 3bets, why are we 3betting this? It's hard to be for value with K8, so I would just fold pre.

Cbet the flop. You don't want to give away free cards on this board and you will have much easier decisions on turn/river if you keep the initiative.

Turn is an easy fold, especially when he bets potsize. You only beat pure bluffs as I doubt he's going to be like this with a hand like KT or so, so just fold.

Fold river as well.

Best,
Plamen
