    Default TP No kicker vs a draw?

    PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $1.00 BB (9 handed) converter

    CO ($110.50)
    Button ($65.45)
    SB ($60.75)
    Bonch ($97)
    UTG ($59.45)
    UTG+1 ($144.45)
    MP1 ($58.85)
    MP2 ($41.55)
    MP3 ($93) Just sat down lost a hand but didn't seem very unusual. Maybe a bit loose.

    Preflop: Bonch is BB with , .
    3 folds, MP2 calls $1, MP3 calls $1, 1 fold, Button calls $1, 1 fold, Bonch checks.

    Flop: ($4.50) , , (4 players)
    Bonch bets $4, MP2 folds, MP3 calls $4, Button folds. I like the flop bet. I want to find out where I am and am able to fold to any raise.

    Turn: ($12.50) (2 players)
    Bonch bets $5, MP3 calls $5. Meh, I don't like this

    River: ($22.50) (2 players)
    Bonch checks, MP3 bets $15, Bonch calls $15. Look ok? Blocking bet anyone?

    Final Pot: $52.50

    Results in white below:
    Bonch has JavaScript 2h (two pair, kings and jacks).
    MP3 has Th Ah (one pair, kings).
    Outcome: Bonch wins $52.50.

    Nice call out, it definitley looked like an overbet to me. I probably would have bet like you on the flop but then checked the turn. NH

    how long have you been playing .5/1 NL anyway?

    that is a pretty big blocking bet.

    and you dont do a blocking bet when you have no hand. that is a bluff bet.

    You also don't do a blocking bet when you're last to act genius I was asking if I should have bet.

    Not long at all. I'm plenty BRed for it, but just haven't gotten around to much of it. Like 2k hands.

    OK, I didnt read the results, but if you got book on this guy that he capable of making a bluff bet on the end, then good call, kinda seems like a busted draw....

    You may have been re-raised on the flop if you had of bet, since he would assume you don't have a King and try to pretend he was trapping on the turn. Or he could have actually had a K and BEEN trapping on the turn lol.
