SB: $20.14 (100.7 bb)
Hero (BB): $20.81 (104 bb)
UTG: $22.02 (110.1 bb)
MP: $4.03 (20.2 bb)
CO: $19.60 (98 bb)
BTN: $20.03 (100.2 bb)

Preflop: Hero is BB with K J
UTG calls $0.20, 4 folds, Hero raises to $0.80, UTG calls $0.60

Flop: ($1.70) 4 9 T (2 players)
Hero bets $1, UTG calls $1

Turn: ($3.70) 5 (2 players)
Hero checks, UTG bets $2.59, Hero folds

Preflop: Decided to isolate the 43/10 UTG fish.

Flop: Hit a gutshot and overcards, but not sure what to do, since I don't expect to have any fold equity against him. If I check/fold, I probably shouldn't raise this hand preflop. Maybe this leads us to checking preflop as the better move than raising against this player. I decided to cbet.

Turn: Didn't hit and I still don't see much fold equity, so decided to give up. Should I fire a 2nd barrel there? I don't think so because of the lack of fold equity.

UTG: 43/10/32 (VPIP/PFR/H)

When deciding whether to raise pre flop you should take into account the players behind you. If they are active ones, it is better for you to raise and isolate vs the limper thus not giving them the chance to do the same.

I agree, but in this case there are no players left behind because I'm on the BB.
