Preflop Raise OK

Flop I get a raise on the Cbet, a check-raise always indicates strong play Here you either have two pairs or a straight, (K9 QJ 98 J10 Q10) I wouldn't think you would play a draw so strongly, I wouldn't think you should have 4bet here



Turn overbet all-in, I couldn't call, what do you think about this play?

Preflop
Standard open.

Flop
This is an interesting spot. While you flop an overpair, its kind of a marginal made hand but also a draw. I could see checking here to see, what develop, but putting out a small C-bet cant be bad either. Now you get check-raised, and if you call (and CO fold), you will have a little less than a pot sized bet left.

I dont think, you can ever fold here, so its between calling and jamming. And I do think, its best to just call. If he have any bluffs, its probably hands like K5s or maybe KT, which are drawing very thin, and if you 3-bet jam, he might actually be able to find a fold. This is assuming, he is a decent player, who understand, you can have all the AK on this board, and KX is drawing almost dead against AK.

Turn
Its not an overbet, since you are the effective stack. You need around 33% equity to call, and if you are behind, you dont have that. However you do beat his bluffs, and keeping those in was the whole point of just calling on the flop. I also dont think, he ever has AK, since he just called preflop, so you are never drawing dead. So I call here, but its a somewhat close spot, so its not like, its massive mistake to fold.

Thank you

Flop: Going all-in might have been the best move, because if I didn't improve, I would have folded, as I did. I got in through a satellite, and in this situation, I didn't want to lose most of my chips.


I don't think he would have raised preflop, but he might have had K9.


Interestingly, I checked the GTO, and he would have gone all-in on the flop.

If you are going to fold to a turn jam unimproved, it is better to jam the flop, so that you at least realise your equity. There might even be a small chance of making a better hand like two pair fold.
