Wasn't at the table very long. UTG seemed LAG, know nothing about CO.

Final Pot: $25.25

Not sure what to do in these situations. Heads up I'll CB this ~95% of the time, 3-way about 60 - 70% of the time, 4-way or more, almost never without a piece of the flop.

But when I get called, I'm kind of lost.

How's the size of the c-bet? I usually bet about pot, but I've been trying to scale down the size of my c-bets since I c-bet so often.

Do I need to call this turn getting 5:1?

c-bet size is good. W/o any real reads as played, I'd fold here as well.

nice hand

Jep ,looks standard.Sometimes i second barrel this, but only with a read and against well known ops.

I probably would have called the turn getting 5 to 1, but it seems the concensus here is fold. I'm not sure I agree. But nitramee is right, with no reads, it's hard to tell what villain would do if the A or K hits on the river and you bet.

Looks good to me. You can't call the turn bet as it looks like his TP just improved to trips.

I'm not sure the odds are overly important...if an A or K hits the river, do you think your hand is good? Either he's weak and we should C/R the turn or he's strong and we are (very likely to be) drawing dead.
