Hi!

Here's a hand I played against a fish. Or, I have to say, against a player who seems fishy: 10 hands only, 40/10/0.

PokerStars - $0.10 NL - Holdem - 8 players
Hand converted by PokerTracker 4

UTG+1: 100 BB
Hero (MP): 177.8 BB
MP+1: 26.8 BB
CO: 98 BB
BTN: 102.2 BB
SB: 250.4 BB
BB: 132.2 BB
UTG: 94.4 BB

SB posts SB 0.5 BB, BB posts BB 1 BB

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

UTG calls 1 BB, fold, Hero raises to 4.5 BB, fold, fold, BTN calls 4.5 BB, fold, fold, fold

Flop: (11.5 BB, 2 players) Q♥ 2♠ 7♠
Hero bets 5.5 BB, BTN calls 5.5 BB

Turn: (22.5 BB, 2 players) T♥
Hero bets 10.8 BB, BTN raises to 21.6 BB, Hero calls 10.8 BB

River: (65.7 BB, 2 players) J♠
Hero checks, BTN checks

Spoiler

Hero shows K♣ K♠ (One Pair, Kings)
(Pre 87%, Flop 82%, Turn 89%)
BTN mucks 8♠ Q♣ (One Pair, Queens)
(Pre 13%, Flop 18%, Turn 11%)
Hero wins 62.7 BB

I was quite happy with the hand as played. I wanted to keep the pot a bit small because I saw him with two pairs, sets, straights or flushes too often. But I also did not want to fold the reraise on the turn, obviously.

Any other opinions?

If you had more hands on the villain in this hand I would consider to Cbet every street around 60% port for value and protection. Read less I would play the same way you did.

I especially like the check OTR — yes, I know it looks chicken 🐔, but if you bet, what do you do vs a re-raise? Even here, I might hesitate before calling if BTN bets OTR

Nice hand!

The "random" Js is not a good card for us, but our overpair is too strong to fold so it's an easy check/call OTR. The rest is pretty standard play.

Hello,

On the turn I'd bet 70% of the pot for value and protection, even though you're blocking flush combos in his range there are all spade axes.
Being a fairly low bet you can be raising AQ, QK and some QT.
I don't like check/call turn because by betting you have a lot of value from worse hands.
