[Closed] 60$ sb vs bb, ugly flop top pair with good kicker

I'd play postflop the same way. It should depende a lot on the dynamic between both of you though. I mean, that's an awesome board for him to raise you out of the hand if he knows you're folding a lot.

But preflop don't you think KTo is a bit too weak to steal from the small blind (and to play oop vs a semireg)?

Well I don't raise it preflop, I prefer folding over complete/bet every flop over raising tbh. You have a good hand for headsup play but the risk/reward is just so bad in this stage.

As played I bet flop aswell and fold to the reraise, I don't think you have alot of FE here and if you get called you're either flipping or dominated..

KT or KJ is bottom of my range from sb. Maybe I should tighten up a little, but then you will never get value with your best hands from sb if you fold sb 95% of time and villains use stats/pay attention.

maybe just tighten up in the first 2 blind levels where the risk reward is too narrow. loosen back up where your steals become more profitable

Well that's true, but how much value can you expect anyway from decent players while playing OOP?

I like it, post is very very nasty, you could easily have the best hand here, but you will be in trouble against most draws, and I think folding on such a flop is not too bad.
