Another situation which might be straightforward to most of you but turned out quite tricky for me.
PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $0.10 BB (5 handed) Hand History Converter Tool (http://poker-tools.flopturnriver.com/Hand-Converter.php) from FlopTurnRiver.com (http://www.flopturnriver.com) (Format: 2+2 Forums)
BB ($10.40)
UTG ($6.40)
Frost ($9.45)
Button ($18.40)
SB ($9.10)
Preflop: Frost is MP with J/images/graemlins/spade.gif, J/images/graemlins/club.gif.
UTG calls $0.10, <font color="#CC3333">Frost raises to $0.5</font>, <font color="#666666">3 folds</font>, UTG calls $0.40.
Flop: ($1.15) 3/images/graemlins/diamond.gif, 2/images/graemlins/spade.gif, K/images/graemlins/diamond.gif <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
UTG checks, <font color="#CC3333">Frost bets $0.8</font>, UTG calls $0.80.
Turn: ($2.75) 8/images/graemlins/club.gif <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
UTG checks, <font color="#CC3333">Frost bets $2.4</font>, UTG calls $2.40.
River: ($7.55) K/images/graemlins/heart.gif <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
UTG checks, <font color="#CC3333">Frost bets $3</font>, UTG calls $2.70 (All-In).
Final Pot: $13.25
As far as reading the opponent goes I can't say much other than I didn't encounter anything at that table, that seemed too odd, most of the time you could give credit to a bet. I also had to consider my own image. I played quite aggressive (allways raising preflop, c-betting almost everytime) and I thought my opponent might underestimate my bet.
This is also why I c-bet with a king on the flop and continued betting after I got called. I figured since he didn't bet the flop but stayed in the pot, he wasn't too confident with his hand but somehow hit the flop and didn't want to give in to a steal. Something like A3 or QTd.
I'm confident there's a serious lack in the way I played this hand, I just can't quite put my finger on it and I'd appreciate suggestions here.
