Hand converted with online PokerStrategy.com hand converter:

Play hand

$0.05/$0.1 No-Limit Hold'em (4 handed)

Known players:
[tg]BU (Hero)$15.13:///////;SB$4.06:///////;BB$10.63:///////;CO$11.39:///////;[/tg]

Preflop: Hero is BU with J:c, K:d.
CO folds, Hero raises to $0.40, SB calls $0.35, BB folds.

Flop: ($0.9) T:h, 8:s, K:h (2 players)
SB bets $0.43, Hero ?

SB played only one round so far, seemed tight

Do I go broke on this flop? Do I call him down or call one street?
What is the best play here? I'm not really sure if I play right against halftacks.

For example I almost always go broke with TPTK against halfstacks. Is that correct?

I would raise flop for protection & fold if he 3bets. He could just want to see a cheap turn.

If he calls Flop, and checks non heart Turn, bet/fold again. If a heart Turn comes and he donks, fold. If he checks, bet/fold, chb River.

HI!

Basically if you reraise potsize which you should against a fish(judging by stack size), he has round 2$ left on turn in a pot of round 4$ and I am going broke on any turn card. These type of players bet on every T every K and also fd maybe if he`s agressive enough. Not a spot where you should complicate things to much. You can also go for a call down, but if turn is low non :heart: card u call again on turn and than u are again commited on river.


My bad didn't see that he was midstack.


against midstack raise to 1,2$ and call shove
you´re ahead of his leading range
