    Default Top Pair Good Kicker

    I was too scared to raise, but not scared enough to fold.

    PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $0.02 BB (9 handed) converter

    UTG ($1.65)
    UTG+1 ($1.38)
    MP1 ($2.54)
    MP2 ($1.84)
    Hero ($1.95)
    CO ($1.70)
    Button ($4.10)
    SB ($4.98)
    BB ($2.85)

    Preflop: Hero is MP3 with J, K.
    3 folds, MP2 calls $0.02, Hero calls $0.02, 1 fold, Button calls $0.02, SB completes, BB checks.

    Flop: ($0.10) 7, K, Q (5 players)
    SB checks, BB checks, MP2 bets $0.04, Hero calls $0.04, Button calls $0.04, SB folds, BB folds.



    Turn: ($0.22) 9 (3 players)
    MP2 bets $0.12, Hero calls $0.12, Button folds.

    River: ($0.46) A (2 players)
    MP2 bets $0.1, Hero calls $0.10.

    Final Pot: $0.66

    Results in white below:
    MP2 has Qd 9d (two pair, queens and nines).
    Hero has Jh Kd (one pair, kings).
    Outcome: MP2 wins $0.66.

    Gotta lay that down. TPGK is no good against a raiser ahead of you - he's got you beat half the time with TPbetterK, and the other half with a better hand (3 of a kind/2pair)

    Default raise the flop

    This was a good flop for you. All limpers meant your kj was probably more than good. Push a pot sized raise in on the flop and see what happens. Chances are good the queen would have laid it down

    Raise the flop.

    Raise the turn.

    Possibly raise the river, but you can get away with calling here.

    You need to get your aggression levels up, this was a very weak/tight play, you didn't make one bet or raise throughout the entire hand.

    himself fucker.
    Passive play will get you killed.

    Tell me when you did anything other than call in this hand?

    Raise the flop, build a pot to take away from them on the turn.

    Raise the turn, you're got TP and a gutshot, put the opponent to the test.

    If you're still on the river, check behind or fold. Worse hands will fold to a bet and better ones will call.
