SB posts SB 0.5 BB, BB posts BB 1 BB

Pre Flop: (pot: 1.5 BB) Hero has K♦ 7♣

fold, fold, fold, Hero raises to 2 BB, SB calls 1.5 BB, fold

Flop: (5 BB, 2 players) 6♠ K♣ K♠
SB checks, Hero checks

Turn: (5 BB, 2 players) 3♦
SB bets 6 BB, Hero calls 6 BB

River: (17 BB, 2 players) J♣
SB bets 19 BB, Hero ??

Should i raise here or is better only call because the board is paired?
i saw a few hands of this guy and his is very aggressive, because this i didn't bet OTF i thought " this guy will value bet for me" =)

42/33, 600bb stack and coldcalling from the SB is a weak-aggressive player tbh. A lot of hands villain could hold beat you as KT, KJ, KQ, K9, K8s, 66. I'd call.

BTW i think is fold pre, i'd tighten up a bit to this villain at the blinds and play for value.

I would call the river. Even if villain overbets twice I think you have to call because you underrepped your hand.

Villain bets a little bit over pot on turn and river and you ask if you should raise...
Just call and make a note.

Nasty spot but I'd call after the flop action.

I wouldn't raise the river; too thin.

Raise is not an option IMO, however, we can definitely call here. We have enough equity to make up for our losses

Just to emphasize what have been said repeatedly: Raising can only cost you money, it will never win any money. Two pair isn't stupid enough to call.

I actually like the flop check-back. I don't think your purpose is the same as mine. I am not slowplaying, I am keeping the pot small, possibly inducing him to bluff or hit his hand giving him two pair. (The downside is the FD.) As a general rule, if the pot gets big, you lose. Checking back flop is the best way to get two bets in where you are actually a favorite.

Being on sb vs btn (micro stakes) encourage people to defend very wide (rightly so), thus the mini raise should be elevated to 2,5bb at least
