fold preflop, raise from CO is ok, but not from MP
bet more on flop, at least 2$

turn and river are meh.
i think his min-raise on the flop indicated a lot of strength, he could have a set here quite often.
i dont know, i think we pay him off here, and he makes this small bet on the river because he wants us to call with Tx.

folding turn would be the best decision i guess.

normally i don't raise but there was dead money behind me and i have been in mp3
because villian isn't that good player i think he could play T9, JT, QT like he did.

With as aggressive as he is, when he bets out pretty weak on the turn I am pushing on him.

If you're going to fold the turn then why are you calling the check minraise on the flop?

When you half pot bet this like you are, it looks like you're valuebetting a weak ten. You would probably mash the pot button if you were bluffing with air, so why not bet 2.5 or 3 on the flop to keep air in your range from your opponent's perspective. I think you're giving away the strength of your hand with that bet.

You could also check the flop behind since it's such a dry board and your villian is somewhat loose. Then you could call the turn and hope to get a cheap showdown...esp if Q or A doesn't come. Does that make sense?

[Edit: You would of course be interested to know how often he check raises continuation bets, or if you've seen him check minraise as a bluff. Without seeing him do that I would even fold to the check minraise...]

This sounds bad to me.

[IAGTTAYM]

Looks alright to me.

[Poker's Busmalis]

Calling that min-raise on the flop depends on reads but other than that, as played, I think it looks alright.

[skiller3]

Looks good. BTW raising from middle position with KTo is not a sin against nature. You just have to be prepared to lay down TP sometimes.

Fold preflop. I'm almost sure that you aren't good enough to be playing this hand from this position. I think a big leak that many players have is assuming that they are good enough to be playing/raising weak hands from UTG/MP to "mix it up" or "LAG it up".

If I had to play the hand on the flop, I'd cbet 2.5 on the flop and think/fold to a minraise.
