Hand converted with online PokerStrategy.com hand converter:

Play hand

$0.02/$0.05 No-Limit Hold'em (9 handed)

Known players:
[tg]BU$7.21:///////;SB$5.02:///////;BB$14.22:///////;UTG1$21.69:///////;UTG2$3.88:///////;MP1$5.14:///////;MP2 (Hero)$12.17:///////;MP3$2.14:///////;CO$4.96:///////;[/tg]

Preflop: Hero is MP2 with K:d, Q:c.
3 folds, Hero raises to $0.15, 4 folds, BB calls $0.10.

Flop: ($0.32) 4:c, 9:d, J:c (2 players)
BB checks, Hero bets $0.25, BB calls $0.25.

Turn: ($0.82) T:d (2 players)
BB checks, Hero bets $0.50, BB raises to $1.25, Hero raises to $2.80, BB calls $1.55.

River: ($6.42) 7:h (2 players)
BB checks, Hero bets $2.30, BB folds, Hero gets uncalled bet back.

Final Pot: $6.42.

Villain is unknown. The check raise on makes me believe he has alteast 2 pair+, a strong FD with SD and maybe a nutflushdraw. I think i played this hand quite standard. Could i get more value out of this hand if i played it differently on T or R? I didn't want to just call T, because of the flushdraw and the 2pair+ that could hit a boat on R.

Maybe given the stacks sizes he would call bigger 3bet ott with FD or set. I doubt he would call push with those.

Absolutely raise bigger once you decide to raise. An FD is actually getting close to the right odds to call, and he'll surely get a sizable bet out of you OTR if he hits. He'll call with sets too. River bet should also be much bigger.

You could potentially win a close to 500bb pot here, and that should be the primary concern. It is worth risking a few extra folds (by betting big) from him.

Ok, so definitely raise bigger on the turn hoping he has a strong draw or big set

Thanks guys!

Man, you are deep and should rsise bigger on turn. If he is on a draw he will be inclined to call bigger. River bet should also be bigger.

River bet should not be bigger imo, even less. He doesn't have so many hands besides missed FD to reach river with.

We are targetting the 8x.

I don't believe villain would check raise call Turn with 8x except with Q8 and 87 which is probably not in his range. Like vaskata says, there aren't many hand on R he will call with. If the 3bet on T was bigger, i could probably bet bigger on R, hoping he makes a mistake in such a big pot with set.

If he can't call big with a busted FD, he will not call a suck bet with them either. If he has Q8 (which makes perfect sense) or a set (which also makes perfect sense) he might call a 2/3 pot bet, maybe an AI with Q8.
