SB: $2 (100 bb)
BB: $1.60 (80 bb)
UTG: $2.45 (122.5 bb)
Hero (MP): $2.13 (106.5 bb)
CO: $3.49 (174.5 bb)
BTN: $2.38 (119 bb)

Preflop: Hero is MP with Q♣: K♣:
UTG folds, Hero raises to $0.06, CO calls $0.06, 3 folds

Flop: ($0.15) K♦: A♣: Q♥: (2 players)
Hero checks, CO bets $0.09, Hero raises to $0.30, CO calls $0.21

Turn: ($0.75) T♠: (2 players)
Hero bets $0.24, CO raises to $0.48, Hero calls $0.24

River: ($1.71) 4♣: (2 players)
Hero checks, CO bets $1.10, Hero folds

Flop: I think he will fold most of his hands vs Cbet on this board, so I opt for X/R.
Turn: I believe AK would 3bet pre, and AQ/JT would 3bet on flop, so he most likely has Ax hand (TP+BDFD or TP+GS), maybe pair + GS. When T♠: comes I'm betting really small so Ax can still call, but when he min 3bet I belive he has a J. Still I have 4 outs for FH and since bet and raise were so small I decided to call (later calculated, I have exactly 11,5:1 implied :f_biggrin:).
River: Clear fold

Your thoughts please..

Interesting spot and quite complicated, at least to me, I ran it with Equilab but still am not so sure of myself.

I'd say I don't like the flop x/r, especially at NL2 where the bet vs missed cbet isn't the highest, the thing is villain isn't totally capped, he even has more straights than you in proportion (at least the way I designed the ranges though) so I'd say a betting line would make more sense.

What is clear to me though is that as played you don't have a value bet OTT, just check/call, and of course as played it's a fold OTR.

Check raise as the agressor is a uncommon line of action. I don't really know how it works.
Cbet flop and call a raise. I like to overbet this boards with DP.
Try to shove flop could be a good idea as well as players like to call with Ax, draws etc.
T is a awful card.

I would play straight forward on NL2 with only a Cbet line. Now you are almost changing your hand in to a bluff on the flop and there are a lot of turn cards that can hurt your hand as well if he checked back. The turn is for me a bet/fold spot. idoubt he will ever min raise with less than broad way or you have some reads on him.
