Hi there,

villian is a 23/7/3.

Stack sizes:
UTG: $76.30
CO: $56.96
Button: $127.75
Hero: $77.95
BB: $40.75

Pre-flop: (5 players) Hero is SB with K[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] A[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]
UTG folds, CO calls, Button folds, <font color="#cc0000">Hero raises to $2.5</font>, BB calls, CO calls.

Flop: K[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 9[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] Q[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] ($7.5, 3 players)
<font color="#cc0000">Hero bets $7</font>, BB folds, <font color="#cc0000">CO raises to $18</font>, Hero calls.

Turn: 2[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] ($43.5, 2 players)
Hero checks, <font color="#cc0000">CO bets $20.5</font>, Hero folds?!

What do I beat here except a bluff? In my opinion this is KQ/JT a lot... what do you think about this hand?

I fold the flop. You need to make your decision there.

I fold the flop too. Theres too much out there that the villan could call your raise with and have you beat.

KQ/JT/QQ/KK/AA

Yeah this was my second thought after playing the hand, why call flop if I'm going to fold to a turn bet. I think I was hoping that he was trying to get a free river (draw) and therefore checks behind on turn.

As played, fold after flop raise.
