Button is unknown, not enough hands for stats, no reads.

I think the flop is a little bit of spew.

K8o is a lot worse hand to defend with than it looks. Unsuited, unconnected, and dominated by a huge chunk of an unknown villain's range. I think after the flop 3-bet you're toast against an unknown. I'd call the re-raise and re-evaluate on the turn.

i call pf.

when I get 3bet here, they usually have some PP, a K, or a flush draw.

I don't mind the c/r cap.

I think this hand is ok

I [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] the flop. Turn card sucks, I'm not sure what to do there.

If I get raised on the turn is this a pretty easy fold? I think I probably would have called down because of the two flush draws... but I'm trying to find spots to stop doing that.

flop is spew, call 3-bet and plan to call down against unknown. I call turn and river as well and take a note.

i dont like the river check one bit given how the flop played out. the FD got there so he'd have to have a gutshot on the flop for us to pick off his bluff profitably. i'd rather bet and hope for a call from a pocket pair, a worse king, or a 6. folding to a raise of course.

thanks yellowjack. I have problems folding to river raises so sometimes I am passive on the river. Working on that.
