[Bort99]

No reads. Rebop it preflop? Bet more on the flop? What to do on the turn?

Reraise preflop otherwise you're basically playing QQ for set value.

Don't make weak bets that may get called/raised just because they look weak. You want to know where you stand, not making it harder for yourself.

i think you need to take steps to define your hand better, i'd raise to $2.5-3 here pf and bet 2/3'rds to a pot the flop. if we're raised pf re-evaluate, &amp; i'd think about betting the turn K too if he calls our flop bet. im new at nl, interested in others comments

Dont reraise pf. C/c flop and then c/f turn.

I like the bet size on flop. Check/fold turn is probably a good idea.

Don't repop preflop, there's no need to define your hand, whatever that means.....They usually repop pretty tight.

[hero]

if we reraise pf, we're opening up AK, AA, KK to reraise. (wa/wb, keep pot small) but when one of the better flops for our hand falls, we'll either check-call down (UI, assuming no overs), or make a 1/2 pot bet and fold to a scare overcard and a 1/3r'd pot bet? those are the lines?

it seems like button has us beat and is value betting, but we're oop and dont really know. how terrible is bet/folding the turn?

[Check_The_Nuts]

the bluff costs half your stack and the K turn fits a lot of villians hands.

Half pot is good here because its a reraised pot. Reraised pots don't need as large cbets to take them down, because of the relative size of the bet to your stack.
