$16 - A9 in SB vs Karate Kid
 

BB was 57/14.
I felt my hand was too good to fold preflop.
On the flop I decided to cbet, but is that good against a karate kid?
Karate kid here means a donk that thinks you are stealing (and bluffing on flop) and will not give up. (quote sence)

I'm confused, two hands?

Anyway, I prefer a limp with the A9o against someone who's always calling.

Re: $16 - A9 in SB vs Karate Kid
 

I would usually just be completing in the SB at the early levels and c/f missed flops. I don't think against this villain we pick up the pot much pre and have to play the hand OOP w/ a marginal hand that's bloated, which I don't like.

Re: $16 - A9 in SB vs Karate Kid
 

I don't mind the pf raise, but I'm just check/folding this flop. With your read, villain is unlikely to fold to a c-bet, so just give up and move on to the next hand.

Completing is so much better vs this type of villain. We keep the pot under control.

this is pretty strange actually.
I just complete preflop and bet a lot of flops.

This is probably my line here as well...
