Sorry, can someone point me in the direction of a FTP raw HH converter. Villain is new to the table and I have never played with him before.

[kniper]

i play it same way

Hard to say, but I think you may have been outplayed by a big stack.

I check/call the flop here.

Surely villain doesn't put you on JT.

[coolmoedee]

He has kq SUITED, nice fold

Yeah, you don't want to be betting here. Are you folding any better hands? Are you getting called by any worse hands?

[TakenItEasy]

I also like the check/call.

You should probably work on your timing tells. It makes you look weak when you are weak.

[reecelights]

There's no flush draw out there so it's highly unlikely it's a semibluff. As played, I think this is a fold.

As far as check/calling this flop, I'm confused by that advice. If you check this flop and he makes a decent sized bet you are committing yourself to a push on the turn, aren't you? Do you plan to lead push the turn?

I usually lead this flop myself, because any smaller pair folds here, and it's a scary enough board that I doubt anyone bluffs with air here after you have bet. Maybe this is a leak in my game, as this sucks when you have have to fold having blown 40% of your stack.
