I have played fixed quite a lot but I'm fairly new to NL. So here is the hand, no reads


Texas Hold'em $0.15-$0.25 NL (real money)

Seat 1: Button ($19.80 in chips)
Seat 2: SB ($35.25 in chips)
Seat 3: Hero [ K/images/graemlins/heart.gif, Q/images/graemlins/diamond.gif ] ($15.00 in chips)
Seat 4: UTG ($24.55 in chips)
Seat 5: UTG+1 ($26.55 in chips)
Seat 6: UTG+2 ($6.75 in chips)
Seat 7: MP1 ($28.25 in chips)
Seat 8: MP2 ($81.45 in chips)
Seat 9: MP3 ($2.35 in chips)
Seat 10: CO ($59.15 in chips)
ANTES/BLINDS
SB posts blind ($0.15), Hero posts blind ($0.25).

PRE-FLOP
UTG folds, UTG+1 calls $0.25, UTG+2 folds, MP1 folds, MP2 folds, MP3 folds, CO calls $0.25, Button folds, SB calls $0.10, Hero checks.

FLOP ($1.00) 6/images/graemlins/heart.gif, J/images/graemlins/diamond.gif, K/images/graemlins/spade.gif
SB checks, <font color="#CC3333">Hero bets $0.70</font>, UTG+1 folds, <font color="#CC3333">CO bets $2</font>, SB folds, Hero calls $1.30.

TURN ($5.00) 8/images/graemlins/diamond.gif
Hero checks, <font color="#CC3333">CO bets $3</font>, Hero calls $3.

RIVER ($11.00) 5/images/graemlins/diamond.gif
Hero checks, <font color="#CC3333">CO bets $10</font>, Hero calls $9.75 and is all-in.

Final Pot: $30.75, (including rake: $1.50)

I couldn't get the hand converter to work. Rake is not deducted from the pot on each street.

What the standard play without reads? Should hero fold turn or even flop? Reraise flop? Is this too weak hand to play for the whole stack?

I would have raised to $1.5 preflop, then bet the pot or just under on the flop. I probably fold on the flop to a significant raise (say, 3 times my bet)

If I don't fold to the CO raise on the flop, I'm definitely check/folding the turn. I'm worried that we're reverse dominated here.

Ok, so what do put villain on, set, two pair, AK, KJ?

KJ, 66, (J6, K6)... Actually quite limited range. Since he limped in, my guess is 66 for a set but hard to say without reads. The range is so limited that you might be good there some of the time because the likelyhood that villain is a donk overplaying TPNK or simply bluffing is not that low in 25nl compared to the chance that he flopped a set. Anyway, it is an easy fold in some point.

Get some reads and make a more informated decision wheter you want to fold it on flop, turn or seriously call it down.

I think this is KJ more often then another hand. That's why it's a bad position without reads, I'd like to wait for a later hand to get mixed up with this player after I have more information about his play. Yes it could be AK, another KQ or something worse like AJ, QJ, JT, but I really don't want to risk much money finding out.
