Played well or like a donkey

Opinions on this hand.

Opponent is fairly TAG, and one of the better NL4 regs. Usually try to avoid them but this table had best value.

I'm not sure about the raise on the flop, you cant fold once you've put it in, but given the intrinsic value of your hand why would you want to?

Nice brag hand

Personally if I have notes that they're a descent player/reg than I'm snap folding KJ preflop. If they know how the game works they're probably opening with a better than that, AK/KQ/AJ all that dominate you and of course JJ/QQ/KK/AA which also crush you.

Yes it's tight but I think it's the correct option and just saves you any hassle when you get a J high flop facing a shove on the flop against a good player.

Nice hand. you had alot of outs any diamond or queen, on another day it could of gone differently and lost all the money lol. question for you, would you of folded the handed if he raised more? how much more? obv ino its micro stakes so the money isnt a great deal, but just wondering.

I told you you run too good :P

Flop pre, after flop we have to get it in we have too many outs

Pre Flop i think if i raise more i think he should fold, but i think once that flop comes, its about as good as flop as you want if you miss so i dont think he can flolf, he was 50 / 50 when the money went in

Crunchybob

yep thats what i meant pre flop. obv after the flop he shudnt fold as too many outs.

I prob foldpre depending on villain, and how likely blinds are to call

Flop is fine

What is it about the villain that would effect wether you would call or fold?

If you know the blinds r likely to call, are you more likely to call? Or is it the other way round?... and why?

played fine, if you can't get in on the flop then when can you )

pre - I am sure Don knows it's a speculative call with that holding and you got the flop you wanted TBH so all is good )

Villain: how wide he opens, how he plays postflop
Blinds: way more likely to call if they likely call. I am IP ina multiway pot with a hand that plays reasonably multiway, and usually ahead of blinds ranges

Totally fine start to finish. The beauty of these type of hands is that It can be played anyway you want. If you thing he is seriously strong pre this is a wonderful floating spot. NH well done.
