Hand converted by PokerTracker 4

BTN: 189 BB (VPIP: 100.00, PFR: 100.00, 3Bet Preflop: -, Hands: 1)
SB: 58.5 BB (VPIP: 0.00, PFR: 0.00, 3Bet Preflop: 0.00, Hands: 2)
Hero (BB): 252.5 BB
UTG: 100 BB (VPIP: 0.00, PFR: 0.00, 3Bet Preflop: -, Hands: 1)
MP: 93.5 BB (VPIP: 0.00, PFR: 0.00, 3Bet Preflop: 0.00, Hands: 9)
CO: 100 BB (VPIP: 0.00, PFR: 0.00, 3Bet Preflop: 0.00, Hands: 6)

SB posts SB 0.5 BB, Hero posts BB 1 BB

Pre Flop: (pot: 1.5 BB) Hero has 3♣ 2♣ A♠ 7♥

UTG raises to 2 BB, MP calls 2 BB, fold, BTN calls 2 BB, fold, Hero calls 1 BB

Flop: (8.5 BB, 4 players) 2♠ J♥ 2♦
Hero checks, UTG bets 5 BB, fold, fold, Hero raises to 15 BB, UTG calls 10 BB

Turn: (38.5 BB, 2 players) K♣
Hero checks, UTG bets 37 BB, fold

Spoiler

UTG wins 37 BB

x/c, x/c?

I felt a raise would push out overpairs and some AKQ type hands. Once there was a call I felt I was likely behind, K hits KK, JJ is possible as it is likely to call flop considering it would have a lock on the hand. How do you play this?

I would donk and try to get value from those overpairs.

Preflop call is marginal, you have to pay only 1bb to 8,5bb pot, but you will mostly flop only problems with such hand. All your straights, flushes, trips are dominated, so only hoping to flop nuts.

So assuming donk is called, do you continue king and fold to a raise?

I think it is hard to imagine that the K actually was the dealbreaker here, guy gets raised on driest board ever that is paired and then he would think hitting a single king would warrant a full pot bet on turn? A flatcall answer to your flopraise here could mean you are already drawing slim/dead (even though some peel with overpairs, but they will not then donk full pot on turn or if they hit one pair with an AKQJ type hand), and preflop your starting hand is just garbage.

Yeah, this seems reasonable. At this level I think you can still get value from overpairs and not getting bluffed very often with worse. K is not very good card when he has KK in his range and QQ/AJ will just fold, but I would still bet/fold, maybe he can call KJ/AA/worse trips when pot is not that big.

Goes to show how useful position is in Omaha haha, this is so much easier to play when I am UTG (although I am never raising this) but you get my point haha.
