    Default I think this is a fold but humor me anyway

    No reads on villain I've only been at the table for a couple of orbits neither of us has been out of line. My read on him though is that I don't think he's an idiot like most at these stakes.

    I think my line is ok and I think once he raises me on the turn i should be folding but can I put him on a set here cause thats all I can think of that beats me in his range. Should I be thinking the straight is possible as well?

    PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $0.25 BB (5 handed) Poker-Stars Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: FlopTurnRiver)

    SB ($25.10)
    BB ($10.10)
    Hero ($28.85)
    MP ($20.85)
    Button ($27.35)

    Preflop: Hero is UTG with K, A.
    Hero raises to $1, 1 fold, Button calls $1, 1 fold, BB calls $0.75.

    Flop: ($3.10) K, 4, 7 (3 players)
    BB checks, Hero bets $2.25, Button calls $2.25, BB folds.

    Turn: ($7.60) 8 (2 players)
    Hero bets $5, Button raises to $13.5,

    Hero folds???

    Yea, I reckon this is a muck.. sometimes you see donks taking this line with KJ or so, but most of the time it's a set.

    lol. That's how you can make so many 2+2 types fold.

    But seriously though. At small stakes this is often the truth.

    Thanks for the post - this happens a lot. I just moved up from NL10 to NL25 (3k hands), so I'm still spewing some chips in thin situations, trying to learn the ropes. I've called it and won, and I've called it and gotten smoked. In general, if it's a villain of any decent quality, I'm trying to lay it down.

    I'd need some sort of a read on the guy to call this. Unknown or standard this is a fold.
