Preflop: Hero is BB with T K
4 folds, SB raises to $0.75, Hero calls $0.50

SB bets $1, Hero calls $1

The amount of value we're getting on this board and these positions is pretty limited. I guess on turn we can get some calls by the draws that he picked up

Hi legand73

Preflop: looks fine

Postflop: definitely getting value from draws and the weaker Kx there and of course some AA.

And since we are BvB i don't expect that much FE which means that even raising flop where it makes less sense would be good.

Oh so we have less FE because of the texture.Makes sense but I initially expected the opposite . This definitely leads me to believe that i'm not raising bvb anywhere near enough

Well, if you get raised on such a flop do you give respect to people?

In general, on such dry boards, very few people respect raises.

With that being said he clearly has a lot of junk that doesn't connect there.

No i don't give much respect getting raised on these boards but the coupled with the fact that in villains shoes our range isn't the strongest. What is the bottom of our defending range vs a raise (assuming we're villain on the flop)?

That's a good question.

I'd say most pairs and strong Ax hands are a good start.

Of course all strong hands like Kx+ are also in our range there.

Another one of my leaks is my cbetting from the Sb i think so i'm quite keen to take a step back if you don't mind.

Imagine we're villain in the Sb. What should we be cbetting here on the flop
By the way i'm opening something like 22+,A2s+,K2s+,Q2s+,J7s+,T7s+,96s+,85s+,75s+,65s,A2o+,K7o+,Q9o+,J9o+,T9o (This could in fact need tweaking as well :) )

I was gonna have a go at splitting up his range and look at what parts are defending and how but it's difficult for me to decide how wide to cbet this flop

This is similar to the other hand where we talked cbet ranges.

But if you play vs an aggro reg we will be dong a lot more checking, ck/raising and ck/calling.

But if you looked at a standard range vs unknown we again look at hands with equity given the board. Can you take a stab at what those may look like?

obv all Kx, Axs w/ backdoors Qxs w/ backdoors, pairs

Regarding the bottom of our cbetting range would it be wise to be cbetting like weak backdoors, as weak as 85s or what about hands like T9o

Depends on the player but those would be the absolute bottom of our range and generally backdoors like T9o are weaker than backdoors with flush draws.
